The Easter Bunnies “Favorite Pizza” - Easter Egg Sugar Cookie

I had my first fruit pizza back in the early 2000’s at a Pampered Chef party. You all remember those right? I’m sure many of you even have some pampered chef tools in your kitchen right now! I personally love my pampered chef stuff, but what I really loved was some of the recipes that they came up with! I had a can of sugar cookie dough rolling around my fridge and thought that this was the perfect opportunity to try out a Sugar Cookie Easter Egg Pizza. I was responsible for a dish to pass for my daughters Girl Scout function, so I figured what better time to try this out! Let me tell you, it did not disappoint!

FYI.... you absolutely can make your own sugar cookie dough - I’m using what I have, and to be honest I’m always running around like crazy between kids, the farm, work and life in general. If I can use a bit of a shortcut, dang it I’m using it! But you do you, buy or make your own - no judgement here!

Ingredients:

• 16.5 ounce tube of Sugar Cookie dough - (or homemade)
• 12 oz. softened cream cheese
• 6 Tbsp softened butter
• 2 C powdered sugar
• 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• Fruit of choice! I like to use strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, kiwi, “Cutie” brand mandarin oranges. I stay away from fruits that are high in water such as watermelon. Grapes, blackberries, pineapple and bananas would also work well.

Instructions:

1. Grab yourself a cookie sheet and line with parchment paper
2. On your parchment lined cookie sheet, take your sugar cookie dough and roll it into an Egg shape (trim as needed working your excess dough back into your egg shape).
3. Bake your sugar cookie dough till golden brown. Consult the package for directions and oven temp or if using homemade - check your recipe for baking time and oven temp.
4. Once cooked allow your “egg” to cool.
5. Make your cream cheese frosting. Grab your stand or hand mixer and beat the cream cheese and butter together until lump-free and smooth and creamy.
6. On medium speed slowly add in your powdered sugar. Lastly combine your vanilla and mix till everything is well incorporated.
7. Grab your cooled Easter egg cookie and frost it with your cream cheese frosting.
8. Once frosted add your delicious and colorful fruit!
9. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
10. Enjoy Friends!
