Ingredients
blank
1 pkg My Better Batch Classic Sugar Cookie Mix
- 1 Large Egg
- 8 TBSP Unsalted Butter, Softened
blank
1 8-oz pkg Cream Cheese
- 2 TBSP Unsalted Butter, Softened
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
2 cups Fresh Fruit (we used blueberries, strawberries)
Directions
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
First, prepare the Classic Sugar Cookie mix per the instructions. Begin by adding the contents of one package of cookie mix, an egg, and 8 tablespoons of softened, unsalted butter to a large mixing bowl. Using a mixer on medium speed, combine until the ingredients are well blended.
Take the cookie dough and spread it evenly on the bottom of the pizza pan. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until the cookie crust edges have set. Allow the crust to cool completely before removing it from the pan.
While the crust is baking, prepare the creamy topping.
In a mixing bowl, combine one package of cream cheese and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Make sure both are softened to room temperature - this is key for a smooth texture. Using medium-low to medium speed, beat for 2–3 minutes until creamy and lump-free.
Next, add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ½ teaspoon cinnamon. Continue mixing on medium-low speed until everything is fully incorporated.
Move the cooled cookie crust onto a serving platter. Pour the sweet cream cheese topping onto the crust, spreading it evenly.
This is your chance to get creative - arrange the fruit in a fun or intricate design.
Cut, serve, and enjoy!
