Mini Fruit Pizzas
Description
Made by mixing butter, sugar, and egg, the cookie dough is combined with all-purpose flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt, which provides a subtle tang and light texture. Shaped into small discs slightly larger than standard cookies, they bake at 350°F until lightly browned. The cream cheese frosting is prepared by beating softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla until smooth and spreadable.
After cooling, the cookies are frosted and topped with fresh fruit. Waiting to add fruit until serving prevents soggy cookies and preserves the crispness of the cookie crust. Chilling after frosting helps set the cream cheese layer, making it easier to add fruit later. These mini fruit pizzas offer a visually appealing, portioned dessert ideal for gatherings or snacks.
For best results, prepare the base and frosting ahead but add fruit just before serving. This ensures the cookie stays crisp, and the fruit maintains its freshness and texture.
Ingredients
Pizza:
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Frosting:
- 1 cream cheese 8 oz package, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, beat together the butter and 3/4 cup sugar over medium speed until creamy. Add in the egg and beat until combined.
- In a small bowl, combine the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Add to the creamed mixture and stir by hand until just blended.
- On a cookie sheet that has been lined with either a silicone baking mat or parchment paper, roll out small handfuls of dough, about 1/4 cup each. Roll and flatten into a circle shape, a little bigger than the size of a standard cookie. Be sure to leave adequate space between each mini pizza, as the dough will spread.
- Bake the mini pizzas in preheated oven for 9-12 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with 1/2 cup sugar and vanilla until smooth. Spread on cooled mini pizzas and top with fruit. Chill if not eaten immediately.
Notes
- Add fresh fruit topping just before serving to prevent the cookie base from becoming soggy.
- If making in advance, frost the mini pizzas and store them chilled; add fruit just before eating.
- The recipe is adapted from Allrecipes, balancing creaminess and a tender cookie base.
