Prepare the Sugar Cookie Bases
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the refrigerated sugar cookie dough with the 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour. Mix until just combined. This helps reduce spreading and makes the cookies a bit firmer for holding toppings.
- Roll the dough into small balls, about 1-inch in diameter (approximately 1 tablespoon each). Place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still look soft. Do not overbake. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. It's crucial they are completely cool before frosting.
Prepare the Cream Cheese Frosting
- While the cookies cool, prepare the frosting. In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the softened cream cheese and softened unsalted butter together on medium speed until smooth and creamy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add the vanilla extract and gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating on low speed until combined, then increasing to medium-high until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Assemble the Fruit Pizzas
- Once the cookies are completely cool, spread about 1-2 tablespoons of cream cheese frosting onto the top of each cookie, leaving a small border around the edge.
- Arrange the fresh fruit slices and berries decoratively on top of the frosting. Get creative with your patterns!
- Serve immediately, or chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Enjoy your Easy Mini Sugar Cookie Fruit Pizzas!
Notes
For best results, store any leftover fruit pizzas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. You can also customize your fruit toppings with other seasonal favorites like raspberries, blackberries, grapes, or peaches. A little lemon zest added to the frosting can give it an extra bright flavor!
