Mini Fruit Pizzas


These little desserts are pretty and delicious.  Unfrosted cookies freeze well and the frosting and glaze will keep in the fridge for at least a week if you don't want this many desserts at one time.

Sugar Cookies for the base:
  • 1/4 cup butter

Directions:
  1. Cream together butter, shortening, and sugar.
  2. Add egg and vanilla, beat until creamy.
  3. Combine dry ingredients and stir into creamed mixture alternately with milk until dough comes together in a ball. It will be slightly sticky. This dough can be refrigerated and baked later.
  4. Using a little extra flour, roll out dough to 1/4" thickness.

  7. Yield: 30 cookies.

  • 2 packages ( 8 oz each ) cream cheese
  • 2 containers (8 oz each ) whipped topping

  2. Spread frosting on cookies and arrange your choice of fresh fruit on top. Drizzle glaze over top.
Glaze:
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup water
  1. In saucepan combine all ingredients and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
  2. Cook until thickened, approximately 2 minutes.

    2. Pamela, you could try just substituting a gf flour mix (cookie mix) that you can buy in your local grocery.

    1. I have not made this in a large pizza size. I used a 2" cookie cutter and it yielded 30 cookies.
