Fruit Pizza

Fruit Pizza:

• 1 (18 ounce) package refrigerated sugar cookie dough
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
• powdered confectioners sugar (optional)
  
• Fruit (strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, kiwi, green/red grapes, mandarin oranges, raspberries, blackberries, as much or as little as you want.

pre-heat oven to 350.
Roll out cookie dough onto a sprayed pizza pan or pizza stone. Bake at 350 for about 10-12 minutes. Allow cooked cookie to cool while preparing fruit. Mix softened cream cheese with whipped topping, mixing until lumps are gone and the spread is smooth. You can add in powdered sugar into the mix if you want it sweeter. Spread over cooled cookie. This is the "glue" that will hold the fruit onto the pizza so spread it generously.

Cut fruit into slices and shapes depending on the pattern you'd like to make. You can play around with the fruit and create whatever patterns you'd like. A strawberry heart for valentines day would be cute. Start around the outer edge and place fruit around the pizza in whatever pattern you like whatever order you'd like your fruit until you've filled the pizza.

Optional Glaze:
The glaze that is poured over the top of the pizza makes the fruit shiny and gives the pizza a finished look.
