Ingredients

Sugar Cookie Base

225 g butter
225 g caster sugar 1 cup
1 egg
2 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon baking powder
450 g flour 3 cups

Cream Cheese Frosting

225 grams cream cheese
¼ cup maple syrup 60 mls
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1 Tablespoon lemon zest (zest from 1 lemon)

Fresh Fruit Decorations

1 apple
2 kiwifruit
1 banana
½ cup blueberries
½ cup raspberries
½ cup blackberries

Instructions

Heat your oven to 160 degrees celsius.
Take your cream cheese out of the fridge so it can soften and come to room temperature

Sugar Cookie Base

Cream the butter and sugar until as white as possible.
Add vanilla, lemon juice and egg, beat.
In a separate bowl whisk the flour and baking powder so that it is well combined
Add half the flour to the creamed ingredients, mix on low speed until combined, add the second half of the flour and mix on low speed until combined.
Cover the dough in the mixing bowl with cling wrap or beeswax paper/wrap, chill for 30 mins.
Place a ball of dough between 2 sheets of baking powder, or on a floured board. Roll the dough to approximately 6mm thick. I find that half of the dough makes a great sized pizza base.
Shape the cookie base into an egg shape with your hands.
Bake your sugar cookie pizza base at 160 degrees celsis for 15 minutes, it should be lightly golden on the underside and edges when it is ready.
Cool completelty before icing, and decorating with fruit

Cream Cheese Frosting

Use a stand beater or electric beater to beat your cream cheese until it is soft and lump free
Add the maple syrup, lemon juice and zest, beat until well combined
Spread the frosting over your cooled pizza base.

Fresh fruit decorations

Slice your fresh fruit and arrange over the cream cheese frosting to create a gorgeous easter themed fruit pizza.
Enjoy!

Notes

Tips

If you are having any issues rolling out the dough or moving the cut cookies, it may mean your dough has become too warm, chill it in the fridge and it will be easier to deal with.
The lemon juice in the recipe doesn't add flavour to the cookies, but the acid helps stop the cookies from spreading while baking.
Store your sugar cookies in an air-tight container in your pantry for up to 7 days, or freeze the cookies for up to 6 months.
If you have unbaked sugar cookie dough it will last up to 7 days in the refrigerator, or it can be frozen for up to 6 months.
