Equipment

1 Mini Muffin Tin

Ingredients

Sugar Cookie Base

1/2 cup butter softened
2/3 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/3 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

Filling and Fruit

6 ounces cream cheese softened
2 tablespoons sour cream
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup whipped topping
1 cup diced fruit

Instructions

Sugar Cookie Cups

Preheat oven to 350℉ and lightly grease a mini muffin pan with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the butter and sugar.
1/2 cup butter, 2/3 cup sugar
Stir in the egg and vanilla.
1 egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla
Lastly, add the dry ingredients and mix until a dough is formed.
1 1/3 cups flour, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt
Roll about 1 1/2 teaspoons of dough (1/2 tablespoon) into a ball and press into the prepared muffin tin. I recommend using a very small cookie scoop (if you don't have a really small cookie scoop, use a cookie scoop that holds about 1 tablespoon of dough, scoop it up and cut the scoop in half).
This recipe will make about 48.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until outer edges are golden brown; don't over-bake.
Right away, take the lid of a vanilla extract bottle (or something similar sized) and press into the center of each cookie to make a little spot for the filling.
Let cool for 15 minutes before carefully removing from the pan; let cool completely on a wire rack. While you wait, make the filling and prepare the fruit.

Make the Filling

Add the softened cream cheese to a large bowl and stir until smooth.
6 ounces cream cheese
Stir in the sour cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
2 tablespoons sour cream, 3/4 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla
Once smooth, fold in the whipped topping.
1 cup whipped topping

Assembly

Pipe the filling into the cooled sugar cookie cups then top with diced fresh fruits.
1 cup diced fruit
Serve right away or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

Short on Time? Use store-bought sugar cookie dough! I've tested this with homemade and store-bought dough and both turn out great. Use a 16 ounce package of sugar cookie dough (24 cookies) and cut each ball of dough into two. You'll end up with 48 fruit pizza bites.

Fruit Recommendations - My favorite fruits to use on a fruit pizza are berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries), halved grapes, drained canned mandarin oranges and kiwi. I don't recommend using really watery fruits such as melon as it'll make it soggy.
