Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour (315g), sifted
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder (5g)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (1g)
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (227g), softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar (150g)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5ml)
  • 8 oz cream cheese (227g), softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (120g), sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5ml)
  • 1–2 tablespoons heavy cream (15-30ml)
  • 1 cup strawberries (about 150g), hulled and sliced
  • ½ cup blueberries (75g), washed and dried
  • 1 large kiwi, peeled and thinly sliced
  • Optional: small white star-shaped fruit cutouts from apple or pear

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined, scraping down sides as needed.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Lightly flour a clean surface and roll dough to about ¼ inch (6 mm) thickness. Use mini cookie cutters (about 3 inches diameter) to cut out rounds and place them about 1 inch apart on the baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are just turning golden. Let cool completely on wire racks.
  8. Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add heavy cream 1 tablespoon at a time until frosting is spreadable but not runny.
  9. Spread a thin layer of cream cheese frosting on each cooled sugar cookie.
  10. Arrange sliced strawberries in stripes, place blueberries in a corner for the ‘stars’, and add kiwi slices in green stripes. Add white star-shaped fruit cutouts if using.
  11. Chill the assembled mini fruit pizzas in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for best texture. Do not overbake cookies to keep them tender. Use fresh, firm fruit to avoid watery topping. Thin the frosting with heavy cream for easy spreading. Chill dough if sticky before rolling. Cool cookies completely before frosting to prevent melting.
