Sugar Cookie Fruit Pizzas start with soft, buttery cookies topped with creamy and sweet frosting. These cookies get topped with your fruit of choice plus a quick glaze for a beautifully glossy finish!
SUGAR COOKIES: Prepare your favorite sugar cookies and let them cool completely to room temperature before frosting.
FROSTING: Soften the cream cheese by removing it from the package and placing it on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave in 15-20 second bursts until it reaches room temperature (don't melt, just soften).Using a stand mixer with a whisk attachment (or hand mixers), cream together the room-temperature butter and softened cream cheese on medium-speed until smooth. Add vanilla extract and salt. With the mixer running at low speed, gradually add in 2 cups powdered sugar and beat until well combined and smooth. Taste and adjust the frosting as desired, adding the last 1/4 cup powdered sugar if desired for a thicker/sweeter frosting. Refrigerate frosting for 20-30 minutes to allow it to firm up slightly and the flavors to meld.
DECORATE: Frost the cookies with even amounts of frosting. Arrange the fruit on top of the frosted cookies as desired. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the jam and water. Microwave for 10-15 seconds and stir well. (If using marmalade, press it through a fine sieve first.)Using a pastry brush, gently brush the jam mixture over the fruit. Serve the cookies immediately or refrigerate them (covered). Store in the fridge and enjoy the cookies on the same day they are made.

Notes
Note 1: Sugar Cookies: A few options when it comes to sugar cookie base of this recipe:
Homemade: Prepare your favorite sugar cookie recipe. These Soft Sugar Cookies are our favorite! Or, if you'd prefer to make the base using cookie cutters, try this Cut Out Sugar Cookie Recipe.
Semi-homemade: Grab your favorite sugar cookie mix from the store and prepare those to package directions. Or grab prepared sugar cookie dough and bake up those cookies (if going this route, we roll together 2 balls of dough to make a larger/thicker base to nicely hold the frosting and fruit).
Store-bought: Grab already made sugar cookies from your favorite local bakery or the bakery section of your local grocery store.
