Ingredients
  

For the crust:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

For the cream cheese layer:

  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar

For the fruit topping:

  • fresh strawberries
  • ripe peaches
  • blueberries
  • kiwi fruit
  • raspberries

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, beating well to combine. In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking powder, salt, and all-purpose flour. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
  • Shape the cookie dough into a large ball and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Place the wrapped dough in the refrigerator to chill for 1 hour. This helps the dough firm up and prevents spreading while baking. I find that chilling the dough also makes it easier to handle when rolling it out.
  • Remove the chilled dough (from Step 2) from the refrigerator. On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll the dough out into a large circle, about 1/4 inch thick. Carefully transfer the dough to a pizza pan or stone that has been greased or sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Alternatively, you can press the dough evenly onto the pan with your hands. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the edges and top are just starting to turn lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let the cookie crust cool completely before adding any toppings.
  • While the crust is cooling, beat the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar together in a medium bowl until smooth and creamy. If you like your frosting on the sweeter side, add more confectioners' sugar to taste. I like to let the cream cheese come to room temperature before mixing—it makes for an extra smooth frosting.
  • Once the sugar cookie crust (from Step 3) is completely cooled, evenly spread the cream cheese frosting (from Step 4) over the top. Make sure to reach all the way to the edges for the perfect base for your fruit toppings.
  • Top the frosted cookie crust with fresh strawberries, ripe peaches, blueberries, kiwi fruit, and raspberries. Arrange the fruit in fun patterns or creative designs for a beautiful presentation. To make the fruit pizza even more delicious, I sometimes add a light drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of lemon zest for a pop of brightness.
