Sugar cookie dough patted into a large pizza pan and topped with frosting and fruit has been popular for quite a while. But our great niece Shirley introduced us to mini fruit pizzas when she made them for her sister Joy’s graduation. We loved the idea so much that we recently made them with Shirley and Joy’s cousins.
Shirley used her favorite cookie recipe – one from her grandmother. Her mom sent me the recipe that I’ve attached below, but your favorite recipe will do. Shirley also used a cream cheese frosting for the graduation cookies but her mom said they often use a butter cream icing with the cookies. I’ve also added their buttercream frosting. I used cream cheese frosting on ours

Mini Fruit Pizzas
Ingredients:
Sugar Cookie Dough – use recipe below or check out others on our cookie index
Cream Cheese or Butter Cream Frosting
Fruit: Strawberries & Blueberries / Shirley added raspberries. Kiwi would also be in interesting addition.
Explanations:
- I made the sugar cookies ahead and froze them.
- Made the frosting a couple of days ahead.
- Shirley, with the help of her brother (and aunt & uncle), frosted the cookies and added the fruit right before Joy’s party. I opted to make it a Cookie Decorating Party — setting out the cookies, frosting, spreaders and fruit . . . so everyone could decorated their own.
