How do you make this easy fruit pizza?

Making the crust: 

1. Whisk the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl.
2. In a large bowl using a handheld mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar together on medium-high speed until combined and creamy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat on low speed until combined. Once completely combined, cover the dough tightly with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes and up to 1 day. (Let dough sit out at room temperature for 20-30 minutes if chilling longer than a couple hours because the dough will be quite stiff and flattening onto pan will be tough.)
3. Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a 12-inch pizza pan with nonstick spray (even if it’s a nonstick pan). Remove chilled cookie dough from the refrigerator and press onto the pizza pan in a 9–10-inch circle, about 1/3-inch thick. Bake for 17–19 minutes or until the edges are very lightly golden brown. Avoid over-baking. Cool crust completely before decorating.

Making the frosting: 

1. In a medium bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the cream cheese and butter together on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the confectioners’ sugar and vanilla. Beat for 1 minute or until creamy and combined. Yields 1 and 1/2 cups (about 390g) frosting. Spread a thick layer over the cooled sugar cookie crust. Decorate with fruit.
2. Cut into slices and serve. Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

What are some helpful tips for making fruit pizza?

When making your fruit pizza, it’s important to use room temperature ingredients. This will help ensure that the cookie crust turns out nice and crispy.

Also, be sure to grease your baking pan with butter or cooking spray before adding the cookie dough. This will make it much easier to remove the finished product from the pan.

Finally, for a more decorative look, use cookie cutters to cut out fun shapes from the cookie dough. This will make your fruit pizza look even more attractive and appetizing!
