Mini Sugar Cookie Fruit Pizza Food

FRUIT PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 390°F/200°C degrees.
• In a bowl, using a hand mixer cream together the sugar and the butter until it's well combined and creamy (about 1 minute). Mix in the egg and the vanilla extract.
• Add the flour along with the baking powder and salt, and beat with the mixer on slow speed until just combined.
• Line a 12-inch pizza pan with parchment paper, grease your hands with cooking spray then spread the dough in the pan in an even layer. You will have to use your hands to press down the dough.
• Bake in the oven for 13-15 minutes. The cookie base does not have to brown, it might look undercooked but that's totally fine as baking it for longer will dry it out. Remove from the oven, and cool completely on a cooling rack.
• To make the cream cheese frosting, whip the cream cheese with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Add the powdered sugar in batches to avoid getting a sugar storm.
• Once the cookie base has cooled completely, using a spatula spread the cream cheese frosting over the cookie dough base, and then decorate with fresh fruit creating a pattern. Drizzle/brush the fruit with honey if desired.

INDIVIDUAL FRUIT PIZZAS

Steps:

• For the cookie crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, cream the butter, sugar, orange zest and vanilla thoroughly. Add in the eggs and beat until light and fluffy. Add in the milk and mix.
• In a medium bowl, sift together the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder and salt). Then blend this into the cream mixture. Wrap in plastic wrap and flatten into a disc, and then refrigerate for 1 hour (or freeze for 20 minutes).
• Roll out the dough into one large rectangle. Then, using a 4 1/2-inch cutter, cut out circles of dough.
• Bake until the cookie dough is cooked and golden brown, but not overly crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
• For the topping: Using a mixer with a whisk attachment, whip together the marshmallow creme and cream cheese until light.
• Serve the cooled crusts with the cream mixture and a platter of fruit. Let everyone build their own pizza by spreading the cream mixture on the crust and then decorating with as much fruit as desired!
