These Mini Fruit Pizza Cookies are so simple to make, gluten-free and a great activity for the summer months.

the inspiration:

I saw a large sheet pan sugar cookie fruit pizza and it had me thinking. how can we make these with more nourishing ingredients and easier for little hands to enjoy? I used convenient frozen gf browned butter sugar cookies. I also added a white “frosting” made with creme fraiche, fresh lemon, honey and a pinch of salt. add your favorite sliced fruits and you are ready to go!

Inspired by big sugar cookie fruit pizzas, these are simpler and easier to enjoy.

mini fruit pizza cookies ingredients:

  • sugar cookie dough: I use this brand to keep the recipe gluten-free with cleaner ingredients. 
  • fresh fruit: use whatever you like! we used fresh sliced peaches, kiwi, fresh berries and cherries.
  • creme fraiche: a think and rich cultured cream originating in France. it has a slight tang which pairs lovely with the sweet cookies and fruit. 
  • fresh lemon: fresh lemon zest brightens the white icing. 
  • honey: adds a touch of floral sweetness to the icing. 
  • a pinch of salt: always add salt to sweets- a sprinkling of salt finishes the icing.

Course Dessert

Ingredients
  

  • 1 bag of Cappello's frozen GF Brown Butter Sugar Cookies or 12 slices of sugar cookie dough of your choosing

White Frosting:

  • ½ cup creme fraiche

  • a sprinkling of good salt
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions
 

  • Bake cookies according to package directions. Make sure they are completely cooled before icing and decorating.
  • While cookies are cooling, slice your desired fruit and make the white frosting.
  • In a small bowl, combine the white frosting ingredients until smooth. Chill until cookies are ready to decorate.
