💬 Reader prompt: Are you team “pile on all the fruit” or team “just a few pretty slices”?

I’m a sucker for a good sugar cookie! My husband has spent hours, days and even years to perfect the best sugar cookie ever! While I do love his traditional sugar cookie recipe, it’s time to take it up a notch!

This recipe flavors lean towards a shortbread cookie. A little more sturdy to hold all that goodness on top! It kind of reminds me  of Pecan Sandies.

Most of you have had fruit pizza before but this cookie has a slightly different flavor and texture. And what’s better than a handheld version? Right!?!

Fruit Pizza Cookies

Print

Ingredients

• For the Sugar Cookies
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 3 cups all purpose flour
• For the Cream Cheese Frosting
• 1 cube butter at room temperature
• 8 ounces whipped cream cheese
• 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• fresh fruit: berries, kiwi, banana, mandarin oranges, etc..

Instructions

Cookies

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray sheet pan with cooking spray and set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine butter and sugar until well mixed. Add the egg, vanilla and stir again. Slowly add the flour and baking powder until a dough forms. If it looks a little crumbly, this is normal. If you squeeze some dough together in your hands, it should form a ball that keeps its shape. If still too dry, you can add a tablespoon of sour cream or yogurt.
• Scoop and roll into 3 tablespoon dough balls (large cookie scoop) and press with a glass to spread. Refrigerate 5 minutes before baking to help them hold their shape.
• Bake 8-10 minutes, then cool 5 minutes on the hot baking sheet before cooling completely on cooling racks. Baking time will depend on the size of your cookies and your oven.

Frosting

• Place all ingredients into a large bowl. Stir with a hand mixer (or stand mixer) until completely combined, thick and smooth. Scrape the sides and stir again briefly to ensure a smooth frosting.

Cookie Finishing Touches

• Frost cooled cookies generously with cream cheese frosting, then top with any desired fresh fruit.
