  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp almond extract
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp kosher salt

For the cream cheese frosting

  • 8 oz cream cheese room temperature
  • ¾ cup sifted powdered sugar

  • ¼ tsp kosher salt

Instructions

For the cookie crust

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 3-5 minutes. Mix in the egg until incorporated. Add vanilla extract and almond extract and mix. The dough may look curdled, but that is normal.

  • Add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until just combined and no dry streaks remain, 1-2 minutes.
    1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ tsp baking powder, ½ tsp kosher salt
  • Grease a round pizza pan with nonstick baking spray and fit the bottom with a piece of parchment. Press or spread the dough out to create a 12-inch circle.
  • Bake in the preheated 350°F oven until the edges are slightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, 16-20 minutes. Remove and set aside the cookie to cool.

For the pizza

  • In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat until smooth.
    8 oz cream cheese, ¾ cup sifted powdered sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract, ¼ tsp kosher salt
  • Spread the cream cheese mixture over the crust. Top with fruit in any chosen pattern. Mix together the strawberry jam and lemon juice. Brush the jam over the fruit to create a glaze. Slice and serve or store in the refrigerator until it is ready to serve.
