  • Total Time: 27 minutes
  • Yield: 30 servings

Ingredients

For the Cookies

  • 2 3/4 cups (390g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1 1/2 cups (310g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

For the Frosting

  • 5 Tbsp (70g) salted butter, softened
  • 8 oz (226g) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups (250g) powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

For the Topping

  • Fresh fruit of various colors (such as strawberries, blueberries, kiwis, raspberries, blackberries, or grapes)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare dry ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cream of tartar for about 20 seconds to evenly combine, then set aside.
  2. Cream sugar and butter: In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the granulated sugar and softened butter until the mixture is smooth and combined.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla: Mix in the whole egg followed by the egg yolk and vanilla extract. Then, with the mixer on low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. The dough will be thick; stop the mixer occasionally and stir by hand to incorporate any flour at the bottom.
  4. Shape the cookies: Scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons (approx. 33g) of cookie dough at a time and shape into balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone liner, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
  5. Bake the cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until cookies appear slightly under-baked but set. Remove from the oven and allow them to rest for several minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Prepare the frosting: While the cookies cool, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In the bowl of an electric stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream the softened salted butter. Blend in the softened cream cheese and mix until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract and mix until the frosting is light and fluffy.
  7. Assemble the fruit pizzas: Once the cookies have cooled completely and just before serving, frost each cookie with a generous layer of cream cheese frosting. Top each with fresh fruit of various colors and types for a beautiful and tasty presentation.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh fruit that is firm and brightly colored to add a vibrant look and fresh taste.
  • These cookies are best served the same day assembled to prevent the fruit from making the frosting soggy.
  • You can substitute salted butter with unsalted butter and add a pinch of salt if preferred in the frosting.
  • Make sure cookies are completely cooled before frosting to prevent melting of the frosting.
  • To store, keep cookies and frosting separate and assemble right before serving to maintain texture and freshness.
