Instructions
Cookies
- Place butter and sugar in the bowl of a large stand mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment OR in a large mixing bowl with a wooden spoon. Mix on medium speed or by hand until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add egg and vanilla, beating well until smooth.
- In a separate medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Fold into butter mixture until dough is just combined.
- Scrape dough into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate dough at least 1 hour or up to 3 days.
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line two large sheet pans with parchment paper and set aside.
- Turn cookie dough onto a floured surface and roll out to 1/4-inch thickness. Use a 3-inch round cookie cutter to cut out cookies. Place cookies 2 inches apart on prepared sheet pans.
- Bake cookies at 350F 10-12 minutes until edges are golden-brown. Cool cookies 10 minutes on pan, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Frosting and Toppings
- Place softened cream cheese and butter in a medium bowl, and beat on medium speed using an electric mixer until smooth. Add sugar, milk, and vanilla, beating an additional few minutes until frosting is completely smooth and creamy.
- Frost cooled cookies with cream cheese frosting and top with blueberries and strawberries. Store mini pizzas in refrigerator until ready to serve. Enjoy!
