Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
  • If using a premade sugar cookie dough, skip to step 4.

Step 2: Make the Sugar Cookie Dough

  1. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, beat together 1 cup butter and 2/3 cup sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Add Flour and Flavor: Gradually mix in 2 cups of flour, then add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and a pinch of cinnamon. Mix until it forms a soft dough.

Step 3: Shape and Bake the Crust

  1. Spray a round cookie sheet with nonstick spray.
  2. Press the sugar cookie dough evenly onto the pan to form a pizza crust.
  3. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges.
  4. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely.

Step 4: Assemble Your Fruit Pizza

  1. Spread the Yogurt: Once the cookie crust has cooled, spread a generous layer of vanilla yogurt over the surface.
  2. Add the Fruit: Arrange your favorite fruits on top in a fun pattern or let the kids decorate however they like!

Tips for the Best Fruit Pizza

  • Get Creative: Use colorful fruits to create designs like rainbows, smiley faces, or abstract art.
  • Mini Pizzas: Divide the dough into smaller circles for personal-sized fruit pizzas.
  • Extra Sweetness: Drizzle with honey or sprinkle with shredded coconut for extra flavor.

Why It’s Perfect for Kids

  • Hands-On Fun: Rolling, spreading, and decorating makes it a great activity for little helpers.
  • Healthy-ish: Packed with fresh fruits and yogurt, it’s a balance of sweet and nutritious.
  • Budget-Friendly: Simple ingredients you likely already have at home.
