Instructions
SUGAR COOKIE CRUST
Cream together butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg and mix until well-combined. Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt until well-combined. Stir in vanilla extract. Chill for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350º F. Grease a 12-inch pizza pan and press the chilled sugar cookie dough into the pan. Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely.
CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
Meanwhile, combine softened cream cheese and butter with a stand or electric mixer until well-combined and creamy, about 3 minutes. Make sure that the mixture is free of any lumps.
Add confectioner's sugar, ½ a cup at a time. After each cup has been incorporated, turn the mixer onto the highest speed setting and for about 10 seconds to lighten the frosting. Add vanilla extract and beat until light and fluffy.
Spread on top of the completely cooled sugar cookie crust.
FRUIT TOPPING
Arrange the assorted fruit on top of the cream cheese frosting in any design you choose. Serve immediately or cover tightly and refrigerate.
