Assemble the mini fruit pizzas: Spread the frosting evenly across the top of each cooled cookie. Top with a generous amount of diced mixed fruit.

FAQs

1. Can I use homemade sugar cookies?

Yes, you can use your favorite homemade sugar cookie dough in place of the premade dough.

2. Can I use frozen fruit for the topping?

While fresh fruit is ideal, frozen fruit can be used, but be sure to thaw and drain any excess liquid before using it on the cookies.

3. How do I prevent the cookies from getting soggy?

Make sure the cookies are completely cooled before adding the frosting, and avoid adding the fruit too far in advance of serving.

4. Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the cookies and frosting in advance and assemble them closer to serving time to keep the fruit fresh.

5. What other fruits would work well for these mini pizzas?

In addition to the fruits already mentioned, you can use citrus slices, grapes, or even figs for a unique twist.

6. How do I get the frosting to spread evenly?

If the frosting is too thick to spread, you can add a little milk to reach a smoother, more spreadable consistency.

7. Can I use store-bought frosting instead of making my own?

Yes, you can use store-bought cream cheese frosting if you’re short on time, but homemade frosting adds a fresher flavor.

8. How do I make these cookies more festive?

You can use themed fruit (like red, white, and blue berries for the 4th of July) or add sprinkles for an extra fun touch.

9. Can I add a glaze on top of the fruit?

Yes, a light glaze made from powdered sugar and milk can be drizzled over the fruit for added sweetness and shine.
