Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Base
- 1 package of sugar cookie dough
Cream Cheese Frosting
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Fruit Toppings
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 banana, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the sugar cookies.
- Prepare Cookie Dough: Roll out the sugar cookie dough on a flat surface and cut it into small round shapes for individual mini pizzas.
- Bake Cookies: Place the cookie rounds on a baking sheet and bake them for 10-12 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
- Cool Cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool completely to ensure the cream cheese topping does not melt.
- Mix Frosting: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Spread Frosting: Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over each cooled cookie round, forming the ‘pizza sauce’ layer.
- Add Fruit Toppings: Top each cookie with sliced strawberries, blueberries, and banana slices arranged for a patriotic color theme.
- Serve or Refrigerate: Serve the mini fruit pizzas immediately for the freshest taste, or refrigerate them until ready to serve to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Ensure cookies are completely cool before spreading the cream cheese mixture to avoid melting.
- For firmer topping, refrigerate the assembled mini pizzas before serving.
- You can substitute banana with kiwi or raspberries for a different flavor profile.
- Store leftover mini fruit pizzas in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days.
