Fruit Pizza1 roll sugar cookie dough or use your favorite sugar cookie recipe Stretch to fit a round pan or cake pan. Bake 10-12 minutes, 350°. Do not overbake or the cookie base will be hard and crumble easily. Cream together 8 oz. cream cheese 1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp. vanilla Spread over cooled crust Cover with your choice of fresh or canned fruit. Drain and reserve liquid from canned fruit. Fruit options include: bananas, strawberries, kiwi, pineapple, fruit cocktail, and mandarin oranges. Mix reserved juice with 2 tablespoons cornstarch. Heat to thicken. Spread over fruit. Refrigerate. Why would I use a scratch recipe over a labor saving, ready-made roll of cookie dough? Simple. The scratch recipe doesn't break and crumble as easily as the refrigerated dough. The following is my standard rolled sugar cookie recipe. 3 cups flour 1 tsp. soda 2 tsp. cream of tartar 1 cup butter or 1/2 butter, 1/2 margarine salt 2 eggs 1 cup sugar 1 tsp. vanilla Sift flour, soda, tartar and salt. Cream in butter. Beat
eggs, add sugar and vanilla. Add to flour. On floured board, roll out dough
to a slight 1/4 inch in depth. |
