FAQs

Can I use homemade sugar cookie dough?
Absolutely! Homemade dough works wonderfully and allows you to control the sweetness and flavor.

What’s the best way to keep the fruit from browning?
Toss fruits like apples or bananas in a bit of lemon juice before placing them on the pizza to prevent browning.

Can I make these ahead of time for a party?
You can bake the cookies and prepare the frosting in advance, but it’s best to assemble just before serving to keep the cookies crisp.

How do I prevent the fruit from sliding off the frosting?
Gently press the fruit into the frosting and avoid overloading each pizza. Chilling for a short time can also help set the toppings.
