Ingredients
  

Sugar cookie dough
  • 1 roll (16 oz) sugar cookie dough
Cream cheese frosting
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 0.25 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
Fruit toppings
  • 1 cup strawberries sliced
  • 0.5 cup blueberries
  • 0.5 cup kiwi sliced
  • 0.5 cup raspberries
Apricot glaze
  • 2 tbsp apricot jam for glaze

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Bake the cookie rounds
  1. Heat oven to 350F and bake sugar cookie dough rounds for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden at the edges. Transfer to a rack and cool completely so the frosting won’t melt.
Make the cream cheese frosting
  1. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and spreadable. Spreadable texture should hold gentle ridges when lifted.
Assemble fruit pizza cookies
  1. Spread the cream cheese mixture over each cooled cookie in an even layer. Cover the surface for a sturdy base for the fruit.
Top with fresh fruit and glaze
  1. Arrange strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, and raspberries on top in a mosaic pattern. Place the fruit close together so every bite has variety.
Glaze and serve
  1. Warm apricot jam and brush lightly over the fruit to create a glossy finish. Serve within 4 hours for the crispiest cookie texture.

Notes

Assemble just before serving so the cookies stay crisp; store assembled cookies in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours (best texture right away). Refrigerate baked-but-unfrosted cookies for up to 2 days; freeze baked cookies for up to 2 months and thaw before frosting. For a lighter option, use low-fat cream cheese and reduce powdered sugar by 1-2 tbsp if you prefer a less sweet frosting.
