We LOVE pizza at our house, including yummy sugar cookie fruit pizza. Our mom has been making this treat for us since we were little and we think that this recipe is the best.
Take our mom’s famous sugar cookie recipe, add a sweet cream cheese layer and top it off fresh fruit- this counts as healthy food, right?
These are so easy and fun to make, plus you can get the kids involved and let them decorate their own mini pizza. This is also always a huge hit when we take it to parties.

How To Make Mini Sugar Cookie Fruit Pizza
Cookies
- Mix softened butter with sugar, eggs and vanilla. Stir well.
- Then mix in flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and milk. Chill dough for about an hour and it will be easier to roll out.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface until it’s a little more than 1/4 inch thick. Use a circle cookie cutters to make the circles for the dough.
- Place on cookie sheet and bake at 350 ℉ for 10 minutes. Let the cookies cool completely before adding the cream cheese layer.
Cream Cheese Layer
- Mix together cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Fold in the Cool Whip and stir well.
- Spread cream cheese layer over cooled sugar cookie.
- Start adding the fruit and top with fruit of your choice.
Storage Suggestions
If you manage to not eat the whole tray of cookies immediately, these Mini Sugar Cookie Fruit Pizza store well. Once cookies have completely cooled, here is how you can store them:
Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container in a single layer for up to 7 days in a refrigerator.
Why should I chill the cookie dough?
Chilling the cookie dough chemically changes the cookie dough.
Chilling the dough allows the sugar to take on more moisture and fats in the cookie dough, allowing sweeter tasting cookies.
They are also slower to burn when refrigerated. They cook more evenly.
We recommend refrigerating your cookie dough for about 30 minutes. We have found (scientifically as well) that this is the desired amount of time for cookie dough to refrigerate.

I love fruit pizza, but I’ve never seen the mini ones before. Great idea!!
love these. my mom use to make these all the time when I was a kid.
Should you wait to put the fruit on before you serve it or can you put it on the night before? Didn’t know if the fruit would make the everything soggy for the next day… Thanks! Can’t wait to make it!
You ladies are great. So many fabulous ideas. I have six sisters, that make seven of us, and no boys! What a blast!
The thing that you offer is worth our case and force.

Just an FYI if you cook the cookie dough in a cupcake pan they form little tart cups. dont worry if it doest look like it will … once cool they concave and become tart shaped. Then you can take your creamcheese and whip topping mixture put in a ziploc bag snip a corner and pipe in. Lay fruit on top. I use normally just lte crm cheese and lt cool whip with a little vanilla.
I LOVE fruit pizza. This will be the first time my kids have had it. My daughter and I just finished making the dough and cannot wait for the yummy goodness to be put on top. One tip that helps so you don’t have a BIG flour mess on your counter is to go ahead and roll the dough out first: take wax paper or parchment paper and lay it down on your counter, take a pretty good size of the dough, about the size of your palm, put it on the paper, take another piece of parchment/wax paper and put it on top, roll it out to your desired thickness. Repeat with the remaining dough. Stack the dough up onto a large jelly roll sheet, put all of it in the refrigerator until ready to use. And Voila…no mess on the counter.
Hello, thank you for all your great recipes! Want to ask about making same fruit pizza cookie recipe in 9.5” or 10” tort pan & if so what changes, such as 350 degrees & bake time 10-12 minutes? Please let me know any details for tort pan. Thank you!
You will want the thickness to be the same as the cookies which is 1/4 inch thick. The cook temp is still 350 and around 10 minutes still if you have it the same thickness as individual cookies – but watch it closely. It may take a close eye and a little trial and error. We haven’t made this recipe in the tort pan.
Hello, thank you for the bake time & info. I do apologize & meant to write “tart/quiche pan”. Greatly appreciate, thank you again!
I mase the recipe for the frosting and store bought the cookies. I’ve made this many many times and it’s always a hit. I sometimes add a splash of almond extract. I always get asked for this recipe.
