Today's recipe is a bit of nostalgia from my older daughter's playgroup days! This was often served because it was sort of healthy for the kids, and more importantly, would impress the other Moms with your ability to plan ahead and serve something besides goldfish crackers and apple juice. It's been 6 1/2 years since we were in playgroup, but this recipe brings back some wonderful memories of when I was a newish Mom with a toddling little girl.
This is a basic recipe, but I've tweaked it in different ways over the past 8 years. See notes for other variations. Super easy dessert or snack.
1 pkg. refrigerated sugar cookie dough
8 oz. pkg, fat free cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup confectioners sugar
Fruit of choice: kiwi slices, strawberry slices, raspberries, blueberries, banana slices, etc.
- Press cookie dough into pizza pan. Bake according to directions. Let cool completely.
- Combine cream cheese and confectioners sugar until well blended. Spread on cookie dough crust.
- Top with your favorite fruit. Slice into wedges and serve.
For a chocolate version, you can substitute chocolate chip cookie dough. You can also add melted chocolate squares to the cream cheese mixture.
