Instructions
- Warm the oven to the temperature specified on the sugar cookie dough package or recipe.

- Arrange the egg-shaped cookies on a clean baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
- Bake according to the recommended time and remove from the oven, transferring to a wire cooling rack.
- Allow cookies to cool completely to room temperature before decorating.
- Whip cream cheese and butter in a mixing bowl until light and airy, creating a smooth base for the frosting.
- Incorporate vanilla extract and a delicate pinch of salt into the mixture.
- Gradually fold in confectioner’s sugar, blending until the frosting reaches a silky, spreadable consistency.
- Carefully dice the selected fruits into small, uniform pieces for even distribution.

- Artfully arrange the chopped fruits on top of the frosting, creating vibrant and playful designs.
- Present the fruit-topped cookies immediately to preserve their fresh appearance and texture.
Notes
- Select a high-quality sugar cookie mix or homemade recipe for the best flavor and texture base.
- Roll dough evenly to ensure uniform baking and prevent uneven cooking spots on egg-shaped cookies.
- Use room temperature cream cheese and butter for smoother, lump-free frosting that spreads easily.
- Slice fruits just before decorating to maintain their fresh, vibrant colors and prevent browning.
- Consider using seasonal or local fruits for maximum flavor and visual appeal on your Easter egg pizzas.
- Customize frosting by adding a hint of lemon zest or almond extract for an unexpected flavor twist.
- Opt for Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese for a lighter, tangier frosting option with less fat.
- Make these cookies gluten-free by using alternative sugar cookie mixes or almond flour-based dough.
