Fruit Pizza

FOR THE COOKIE CRUST:

1 1/3 c. unsalted butter, softened

1 1/2 c. granulated sugar

1 tsp. orange zest

1 tsp. vanilla

2 large eggs, room temperature

2 Tbsp. whole milk, room temperature

4 c. all-purpose flour

1 Tbsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. kosher salt

FOR THE FROSTING:

2 (7-oz.) jars marshmallow creme

2 (8-oz.) packages cream cheese

TO DECORATE:

Mango, peeled and cubed

Strawberries, hulled and sliced

Canned mandarin oranges, drained

Kiwi, peeled and sliced

Blueberries

Raspberries

Peaches, pitted and sliced, optional

Pears, cored and sliced, optional

Directions

1Preheat the oven to 350°F.

2For the cookie crust: In a large bowl, cream the butter, sugar, orange zest, and vanilla thoroughly. Add the eggs and beat until light and fluffy. Add the milk and mix.

3In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt, then blend this into the butter mixture. Divide the dough into 2 disks and lightly flatten each disk between 2 sheets of parchment paper. (If baking 1 large "pizza" on a sheet pan, do not divide the dough.) Refrigerate for 1 hour or freeze for 20 minutes.

4Roll each dough half into a 11-inch round, then transfer to pizza pans. (Or, press the dough into a large sheet cake pan.)

5Bake for until the cookie dough is cooked and golden brown, but not overly crisp, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.

6For the frosting: In a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip together the marshmallow creme and cream cheese until light in texture. Spread onto each cooled crust.

7To decorate: Top the pizza with prepared sliced fruit, as desired. Slice into squares or wedges and serve.
