Instructions
Creating Mini Fruit Pizzas is simple when you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Make the Cookie Dough: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
3. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
4. Shape the Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spaced apart. Flatten each ball slightly to form a cookie shape.
5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. Prepare the Frosting: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fluffy.
7. Assemble the Mini Fruit Pizzas: Once the cookie bases are completely cool, spread a generous layer of cream cheese frosting on each cookie.
8. Add the Fruits: Top each frosted cookie with your choice of fresh fruits in a decorative manner.
9. Garnish: Optionally, add mint leaves for a fresh touch.
10. Serve: Arrange the Mini Fruit Pizzas on a serving platter and enjoy!
