Instructions
 

Prepare the Cookie Base:

    - Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-inch pizza pan or a similar baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

      - In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

        - Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.

          - In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture until combined. Do not overmix.

            - Spread the cookie dough evenly across the prepared pizza pan to create the base. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

              Make the Cream Cheese Frosting:

                - In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and butter. Mix until well combined and creamy.

                  - Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until smooth. Adjust the thickness of the frosting with a splash of milk if it's too thick.

                    Assemble the Fruit Pizza:

                      - Once the cookie base is completely cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting over the top using a spatula to create an even layer.

                        - Arrange the sliced fruit artistically over the frosting, creating a colorful and inviting display.

                          Prepare the Glaze (Optional):

                            - In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the apricot preserves and water. Stir until melted and smooth, then brush gently over the fruit for a glossy finish.

                              Serve and Enjoy:

                                - Chill the fruit pizza for about 30 minutes to let the flavors meld and ensure it slices easily.

                                  - Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Cut into wedges and serve cold.
