Instructions

Cookie Crust

Start by preheating the oven to 350°F. Then, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon baking mat. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar for a full 3 minutes. You can also use an electric handheld mixer if you prefer.
Scrape the sides of the bowl down and then add in vanilla extract and egg white. Mix until combined.
Next, add the flour and baking powder to the bowl. Mix slowly at first gradually getting faster until the dough comes together. The texture should be like Playdoh, you can add a little more flour or water if needed to get it to a soft, pliable consistency.
Then, turn out the dough onto a floured surface. Use a rolling pin, roll the dough until about 1/4 inch thick. The cookies will not get any thicker or thinner while baking, so roll out to your desired FINISHED thickness.
After that, use cookie cutters and cut out desired shapes. Transfer the cookies to the prepared cookie sheet.
Place in the preheated oven and bake for 6-8 minutes or until the centers are puffy and no longer glossy. Pull the cookies out of the oven BEFORE they start turning brown. If they turn brown, the cookie will be dry and crispy instead of soft and chewy.

Fruit Prep

Clean and dice your chosen fruit topping into small pieces. You want them in ¼ size pieces to fit well on your cookie and but easy enough to be bite size.

Whipped Cream Frosting

Combine the butter, powder sugar, vanilla extract and milk, in the bowl of a stand mixer using the whisk attachment. Whip until well combined.
In a separate bowl, use beaters and whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
Then, gently fold the butter creamand whipping cream together until combined and smooth.

Assembling the Fruit Pizzas

Now, spread a generous amount of the whipped cream frosting onto the sugar cookie base. Depending on your preference, you can spread a less amount of frosting onto the cookie. But make sure it is enough for the fruit to stick to.
Then sprinkle and top the frosting with the fruit of your choice.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
