Servings: 12
Equipment
- baking sheet
Ingredients
- ½ cup softened butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup whole wheat flour I used Kamut, but you can also use a whole wheat pastry flour, white whole wheat, einkorn, etc.
- ¼ teaspoons salt
- 2-5 cups fruits for topping
- 2 tablespoons softened cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons softened butter
- 2 ½ cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium-size bowl, add the butter and granulated sugar and mix for about 1-2 minutes. I used a hand mixer for this. You don't want to whip this until it is light and fluffy in this recipe. You want a more dense cookie, and if you mix too much, this won't happen.
- Add in the egg, vanilla, and almond extract. Mix only to combine.
- In a small bowl, add the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and salt. Mix.
- Now, add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mix to combine.
- Take the dough, and press it into a circle on your baking sheet. I made mine into a 10-inch circle. It baked into about 12 inches.
- Place in oven and bake it for about 15-18 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and allow it cool. If you used parchment paper, you can always remove it carefully from the pan and set it on a cooling rack.
- In a medium-size bowl, add the butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Blend it until it is smooth. I used a hand mixer for this.
- Cut your fruit into the shapes and sizes you want.
- Once the cookie base is cooled, spread with the icing.
- Then add your fruit however you like.
- Here is a note, if you are not going to eat this pizza within an hour or 2, wait to add the icing and fruit. If the fruit is added too early, it starts to droop a little and isn't as pretty.
- Once it is served, if there are any leftovers, wrap them tightly and store in the fridge.
- They hold well for about 2 days.
- Now, sit back and enjoy. You deserve it!
