– Assorted fruits of your choice (such as strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, pineapple, and grapes)
– 1/2 cup apricot or strawberry preserves, for glaze
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the sugar cookie dough package. If you are using homemade dough, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Roll out the sugar cookie dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out a large circle using a round baking dish or a cake pan as a guide. Transfer the cookie dough to a greased pizza pan or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

5. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled sugar cookie crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
6. Wash and prepare the fruits of your choice. Slice the strawberries and kiwi, and cut the pineapple into small chunks. Leave the blueberries and grapes whole.
7. Arrange the sliced fruits on top of the cream cheese mixture in an attractive pattern. Be creative and use different colors to make your fruit pizza visually appealing.
8. In a small saucepan, heat the apricot or strawberry preserves over low heat until melted. Brush the glaze over the fruits to give them a glossy finish.
9. Refrigerate the fruit pizza for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
