Fruit Pizza

     One of my favorite things to enjoy at picnics in the summer is fruit pizza.  It is cold, sweet, and refreshing.  I love that it can be topped with all different types of fruits.  I've only ever seen it made with refrigerated sugar cookie dough, but I wanted to make my own sugar cookie crust.

     This fruit pizza was easy to make.  I baked up a simple sugar cookie dough then topped it with the sweet, creamy, cream cheese layer, then topped it off with blueberries, strawberries, and peaches.  It was fresh and tasty.  I will be making this often this summer.

1/4 c. brown sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 c. flour

1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. baking soda
1 package of cream cheese (I used 1/3 less fat)
1/2 c. sugar
1 t. vanilla

1 t. cinnamon

Assorted fruit (blueberries, strawberries, peaches)

1.  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2.  In a large bowl mix the butter and sugars until smooth.  Mix in the egg. 

3.  In a medium bowl combine flour, cream of tartar, salt, and baking soda.  Stir the flour miture into the butter mixture.  Stir until well combined.  Press the dough into the baking sheet lined with parchment paper. 

4.  Bake for 10-12 minutes or until just browned.  remove and cool.

5.  In a medium mixing bowl beat the cream cheese sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon.  Spread over cooled pizza crust.

6.  Top with cut fruit and chill for at least 4 hours.
