1. Prepare the Sugar Cookie Dough

• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
• In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy (2–3 minutes).
• Add egg, vanilla, and almond extract (if using) and mix until combined.
• Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture and mix until a soft dough forms.
• Divide dough into two discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

2. Shape and Bake the Cookies

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Roll out chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to about ¼-inch thickness.
• Use an Easter egg-shaped cookie cutter, or create a template and cut around it with a knife.
• Transfer shapes to a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing 1 inch apart.
• Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
• Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

3. Make the Cream Cheese Frosting

• In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
• Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice (if using).
• Beat until light and fluffy.
• Refrigerate for 10–15 minutes before spreading for easier application.

4. Prepare the Fruit Toppings

• Wash and dry fruit thoroughly. Slice and prep into thin, decorative pieces.
• Choose bright, colorful fruits for contrast and visual appeal.

5. Assemble the Fruit Pizzas

• Spread a layer of cream cheese frosting over each cooled cookie using a spatula or piping bag.
• Arrange sliced fruit in fun Easter egg patterns—stripes, polka dots, zigzags, or floral designs.
• Add optional sprinkles, mini marshmallows, or mint leaves for added decoration.

6. Serve or Store

• Serve immediately for the best texture and appearance.
• If preparing ahead, refrigerate assembled fruit pizzas in an airtight container for up to 12 hours.
• For longer storage, keep cookies and frosting separate and assemble before serving.
