My nieces were in town, and I thought Fruit Pizza would be a fun cooking project for us. Everyone thought I was getting in over my head - cooking with two 4 year olds, but whatever, it was worth a shot. First, I looked up an easy sugar cookie recipe online, and found one on allrecipes.com, which didn't require any sort of dough chilling. And it was a very simple recipe. Here: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/easy-sugar-cookies/Detail.aspx - I'm sure there's a healthier crust you can make for this sweet pizza, but hey, I'm an aunt, so I don't have to worry about that :). So, we whipped together some softened butter, sugar, an egg, and added in flour, baking soda and baking powder and vanilla and had a great time, and of course, some samples.
Then, we formed the dough into Lean Cuisine pizza-size crusts, and had some lunch. While the twins were eating lunch, I whipped together cream cheese and powdered sugar for our "sauce." We then realized we didn't have enough cream cheese, so we also used some chocolate icing on some of the pizzas. The dough made six pizzas.
And voila! Beautiful fruit pizzas that everybody loved, and that the girls loved decorating. So, my cooking class was a success, and I win the aunt of the day award (I've obviously awarded this to myself, but I think the twins would vote for me too).
