Mini Fruit Pizzas

Someone at work came up with the greatest idea.
It's quite simple: each member of our group has a day every week to bring treats to share after lunch.

Monday is my day.

This week, I wanted to take something light, but of course, sweet.
So this is what I came up with:


A full size fruit pizza is just too messy for work, but individual fruit pizzas, perfect!
(just try not to get them squished on the way there!!)

Cookie Dough:

Cream together 3/4 cup softened butter and 1 cups white sugar. Beat until fluffy.
Next, add 2 eggs and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and beat until really fluffy.
Finally, mix in 2 1/2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Mix really well and refrigerate for at least 1 hour OR overnight.
Roll out onto floured surface (or parchment paper) 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick and cut out with cookie cutter.
Bake at 400 for 6-8 minutes
*Makes about 16 - 3 1/2" cookies*

Frosting:
Mix 8 oz. Cream Cheese (1 block) with 1/2 cup sugar and 2 teaspoon vanilla
