Ingredients:

* For the Crust:

* 1 (14.1 ounce) package refrigerated sugar cookie dough

* 1/4 cup granulated sugar

* 1 tablespoon melted butter

* For the Topping:

* 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

* Additional toppings: chocolate chips, sprinkles, whipped cream

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crust:

* Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

* Roll out the cookie dough on a lightly floured surface to a 12-inch circle.

* Transfer the dough to a baking sheet.

* Brush the dough with melted butter and sprinkle with granulated sugar.

* Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool completely.

2. Prepare the Topping:

* In a medium bowl, beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.

* Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled cookie crust.

* Sprinkle with chopped nuts, if desired.

3. Assemble the Pizza:

* Arrange the sliced fruit on top of the cream cheese mixture. Be creative with the arrangement!

* Add any additional toppings, like chocolate chips or sprinkles.

4. Chill and Serve:

* Refrigerate the fruit pizza for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the fruit to firm up.

* Serve chilled.

Tips:

* Make it ahead: The fruit pizza can be assembled up to a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.

* Get creative with toppings: Experiment with different types of fruit, nuts, and toppings.

* Use cookie cutters: Cut the cookie dough into fun shapes using cookie cutters before baking.

* Skip the baking: For a no-bake option, use a store-bought graham cracker crust as the base.
