Mini Sugar Cookie Fruit Pizza Recipe

We LOVE pizza at our house, including yummy sugar cookie fruit pizza. Our mom has been making this treat for us since we were little and we think that this recipe is the best.

Take our mom’s famous sugar cookie recipe, add a sweet cream cheese layer and top it off fresh fruit- this counts as healthy food, right?

These are so easy and fun to make, plus you can get the kids involved and let them decorate their own mini pizza. This is also always a huge hit when we take it to parties.

The recipe below either makes about 36-48 cookies (depending on what size you make them) OR one large pizza with 12-18 cookies leftover.

Step 4: Place on cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Let the cookies cool completely before adding the cream cheese layer.

Chilling the cookie dough chemically changes the cookie dough.

Chilling the dough allows the sugar to take on more moisture and fats in the cookie dough, allowing sweeter tasting cookies.

They are also slower to burn when refrigerated. They cook more evenly.

We recommend refrigerating your cookie dough for about 30 minutes. We have found (scientifically as well) that this is the desired amount of time for cookie dough to refrigerate.

    Just an FYI if you cook the cookie dough in a cupcake pan they form little tart cups. dont worry if it doest look like it will ... once cool they concave and become tart shaped. Then you can take your creamcheese and whip topping mixture put in a ziploc bag snip a corner and pipe in. Lay fruit on top. I use normally just lte crm cheese and lt cool whip with a little vanilla.

    I LOVE fruit pizza. This will be the first time my kids have had it. My daughter and I just finished making the dough and cannot wait for the yummy goodness to be put on top. One tip that helps so you don't have a BIG flour mess on your counter is to go ahead and roll the dough out first: take wax paper or parchment paper and lay it down on your counter, take a pretty good size of the dough, about the size of your palm, put it on the paper, take another piece of parchment/wax paper and put it on top, roll it out to your desired thickness. Repeat with the remaining dough. Stack the dough up onto a large jelly roll sheet, put all of it in the refrigerator until ready to use. And Voila...no mess on the counter.
  17. Sheila Bishop says:
    Hello, thank you for all your great recipes! Want to ask about making same fruit pizza cookie recipe in 9.5” or 10” tort pan & if so what changes, such as 350 degrees & bake time 10-12 minutes? Please let me know any details for tort pan. Thank you!
  18. Momma Cyd says:
    You will want the thickness to be the same as the cookies which is 1/4 inch thick. The cook temp is still 350 and around 10 minutes still if you have it the same thickness as individual cookies - but watch it closely. It may take a close eye and a little trial and error. We haven't made this recipe in the tort pan.
  19. Sheila Bishop says:
    Hello, thank you for the bake time & info. I do apologize & meant to write “tart/quiche pan”. Greatly appreciate, thank you again!
