Fruit Pizza

I love this recipe as a sweet treat for spring and summer. I use my Grandma Hazel's chocolate chip cookie dough for the base, minus the chocolate chips. This makes a rich, thick and soft crust. The yummy cream cheese topping is super simple to make and then you just throw your choice of fresh fruit on top! 


Cookie Dough Base

Cream together in a large mixing bowl:
1 cup white sugar
½ cup brown sugar (3/4 cup of each can also be used)
1 cup softened butter
1 tsp. vanilla or almond extract
Beat in:
2 eggs
In a separate bowl mix together:
3 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda

Add to creamed mixture and stir until all dry ingredients are mixed in – do NOT over stir. Press dough into a large cookie sheet or a round pizza stone and bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes or until done. Allow the cookie dough base to cool and then frost with topping.

Topping
Beat together in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer: 
1 pkg. (8 oz) softened cream cheese, 1 tsp. vanilla,  ½ cup powdered sugar, 1 small container of coolwhip or three cups of whipped whipping cream. Top with fresh fruits of your choice y ya está lista para comer!
