Fruit Pizza

Fruit pizza is very dessert-like and delicious. It's fun to make for a party because you can decorate really nicely with different colors and types of fruit.

Base: Sugar cookie dough - My recipe:
3/4 C sugar
1/3 C shortening
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 T milk
1 1/2 C flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp salt

Beat wet ingredients until smooth, stir in dry ingredients. Press or roll onto greased and floured pizza pan. Bake at 375 for 12-15 minutes until edges start to turn golden. Loosen cooked crust with a metal spatula (so it doesn't stick) and let cool on pan.

Frosting:
8 oz cream cheese
1/2 C sugar
2 tsp vanilla

Beat till creamy, spread on cooled cookie.

Toppings: lots of beautiful fruit--strawberries, blackberries, kiwi, mandarin oranges, banana slices, raspberries, grapes, etc. Decorate in an appealing design.

To serve, slice into "pizza" slices and enjoy!
