Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Fruit Pizza Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two half-sheet pans with parchment paper or grease them.
  2. Cream together the softened butter and sugar until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the creamed mixture and mix until blended.
  4. Whisk together the flour and baking powder, then gradually add to the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Scoop out 3-tablespoon balls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, flatten slightly, and refrigerate for 5 minutes.
  6. Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are golden but centers are soft. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
  7. Prepare the cream cheese frosting by mixing room-temperature cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  8. Once cookies are cooled, frost generously and top with an assortment of fresh fruits.
