Mini Fruit Pizzas

I've been making this fruit pizza for years and it is a favorite!  You can serve them pre-assembled, or you can do a fruit pizza bar and let each dinner guest frost and assemble their own.  Either way, they are a hit!  If you are in a hurry, you can use the refrigerated Pillsbury Sugar Cookie Dough.

SUGAR COOKIE RECIPE

1 cup butter

1 1/4 c. sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp. vanilla

4 cups flour

1 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 c. milk

 

In a large bowl, cream together butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla.  Mix in flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and milk.  Chill dough for at least an hour, then roll out to about 1/4 inch thick.  Cut into rounds using the top of a glass.  Bake at 350 degrees for 13 minutes.  Let cool. 

 

CREAM CHEESE SPREAD

 

1 (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp. vanilla

1 (8 oz.) cool whip

 

Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.  Slowly fold in the whipped topping. Spread on cooled cookies and top with your favorite fruit!
