Instructions for Sugar Cookie Dough
Combine all of the liquid ingredients and sugar into the mixing bowl. Mix until everything well integrated.
Add all dry ingredients into a bowl. Next, but the shortening into the flour mixture.
Add the dry mixture to the liquid mixture. Add slowly so the flour doesn't go everywhere.
This is what the dough should look like once mixed.
Hint: don't over mix. I mix each step for about 2 minutes.
Press the dough into your tart dish. I left the dough about ¼" thick. Now it is ready to bake at 400 degrees for about 10 to 12 minutes. Watch it close, as soon as the edges start to brown I pull it out.
Instructions for Fruit Pizza Frosting
While the fruit pizza is cooking, combine all the ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix together.
After the fruit sugar cookie pizza comes out of the oven let it sit for about 1 minute. Then add the frosting to the hot sugar cookie
See how the cream cheese is kind of lumpy? The heat of the sugar cookie will melt the frosting and make it smooth.
