How to Make Fruit Pizza
Slice or drain fruit and set on paper towels to absorb excess juices. In a large mixer bowl, whip together softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla. Fold in Cool Whip then chill.
Press the sugar cookie dough into the pizza pan. Pierce dough a couple times with a fork then bake at 350°F for 8-10 minutes, until edges are lightly golden. Cool sugar cookie crust completely.
Using a rubber spatula, spread an even layer of your chilled frosting over the cooled sugar cookie base. Top with fresh fruit!
