Instructions

Make the Sugar Cookie:

In a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter, 3/4 Cup Granulated Sugar
Add in the vanilla extract, almond extract and egg and continue beating until combined.
1 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract, 1/2 teaspoon Almond Extract, 1 Large Egg
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cornstarch, cream of tartar and salt.
1 1/2 Cups All-Purpose Flour, 1 teaspoon Baking Powder, 2 teaspoons Cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon Cream of Tartar, 1/4 teaspoon Salt
Carefully beat the flour mixture into the butter mixture.
Form the dough into a large round disc, cover with clingfilm and place in the fridge for 30 minutes.
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350F degrees.
Line a 12-inch pizza pan with parchment paper or very lightly grease and flour.
Using a floured rolling pin or your palms, roll out or press the sugar cookie dough into a large circle on your pizza pan.
Leave a border of about 1 inch around the cookie. Do not roll out/press the dough to the very edges of the pan. It can expand as it bakes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 13-16 minutes, or until the top looks set and the edges are just starting to turn golden.
Allow to cool fully before frosting.

Make the Frosting:

In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese and butter until very soft.
8 Ounces Cream Cheese, 3 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
Slowly beat in the powdered sugar until your desired sweetness level is reached.
1 1/2 Cup Powdered Sugar
Frost the cooled cookie using a flat-edge knife.
Decorate with fresh fruit of choice.
Assorted Fresh Fruit

Notes

Fruit pizza will keep for 2-3 days in the refrigerator. It should be covered lightly with plastic.
