Instructions

• 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheet with parchment
  paper.
• 2 In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, confectioners sugar, baking powder, salt
  and granulated sugar.
• 3 Using a mixer low speed, add the butter and mix until course crumbles form, 1-2
  minutes.
• 4 Add eggs and vanilla, mix just until the dough starts to come together. About
  1-2 minutes.
• 5 In the bowl, kneed the dough with your hands until it comes together to form a
  soft dough.
• 6 If the dough is too sticky knead in some extra flour until the dough is no
  longer sticky.
• 7 Dust countertop with flour. Roll out the dough until it is approximately 1/4
  inch thick.
• 8 Cut out dough with a 3.5 inch circular shaped cookie cutter.
• 9 Gather the remaining dough scraps and re-roll until all the dough is used.
• 10 Place the cookies on the prepared baking pan spacing generously. You will be
  able to fit 8 mini pizzas on the pan at a time so baking in batches will be
  needed.
• 11 Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 12-15 minutes, until the edges of the
  dough turn golden brown.
• 12 Cool cookies completely before topping with cream cheese spread.
• 13 In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla on
  medium-high speed for 2 minutes.
• 14 Spread a layer of frosting evenly onto each cookie. The frosting should be
  thick.
• 15 Decorate the pizzas with fruit.
• 16 Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator.
