2 1/2 cups all purpose flour (300 grams)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
14 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature (197.8 grams)
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar (297 grams)
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

4 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature (56.5 grams)
2 cups powdered sugar (227 grams)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fruit to Decorate

1 blackberry
12 strawberries sliced thin
1/2 cup blueberries
4 kiwi peeled and cut into half moons
1/2 cup red grapes cut in half

Instructions

Cookie Crust

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 12 or 14 inch pizza pan with cooking spray and set aside.
In a large bowl mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together. Set aside.
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt
In a large bowl using a handheld mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer fit with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar together until it is light and fluffy, about 3 to 6 minutes. Add in the eggs one at a time, then add in the vanilla extract.
14 tablespoons unsalted butter, 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 2 large eggs
Add the flour mixture. Turn the mixer on low and as soon as you are able to turn the mixer up without the flour flying out of the bowl, turn the mixer on high. Mix just long enough for the flour to be fully incorporated. Be careful not to over mix.
Spread the dough out onto the prepared pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the edges begin to turn golden brown. Allow to cool 1 to 2 hours before decorating.

Cream Cheese Frosting

In the bowl of a stand mixer fit with the whisk attachment, or in a large bowl using a handheld mixer, cream together the cream cheese and the butter.
8 ounces cream cheese, 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Add the powdered sugar one cup at a time. Then add in the vanilla extract.
2 cups powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Spread evenly over the top of the cooled sugar cookie crust.

Decorating

Place the blackberry in the middle of the fruit pizza. Then use five strawberrry slices to make a star pattern around it.
1 blackberry, 12 strawberries
Add blueberries around the strawberry star. Add a row of kiwi slices. Around the kiwi layer the strawberry slices to make a ring.
1/2 cup blueberries, 4 kiwi
Next, alternate grape halves and blueberries. Add another row of kiwi slices. Finally add more blueberries.
1/2 cup red grapes
