Ingredients for Sugar Cookie Fruit Pizza
- Refrigerated Sugar Cookie Dough – You could also use your favorite homemade sugar cookie recipe or a pouch mix.
- Cream Cheese – I find the full fat version works best but low fat would work too. I do not recommend using fat free.
- Powdered Sugar
- Vanilla Extract
- Fresh Fruit – This version uses green grapes, red grapes, blueberries, raspberries, kiwi, and pineapple but there are tons of possibilities.
