What Ingredients do I need?

• Sugar cookie dough is a versatile and delicious treat that can be used for a variety of baked goods. The dough can be chilled and rolled out for cut-out cookies, or scooped and baked into round cookies.
• Cream cheese - I like to use Reduced-Fat Cheese because it has a lower calorie count and less saturated fat than regular cheese, but it may also have a different taste and texture. It also helps with keeping the calorie count pretty low for this recipe.
• Cool Whip - A frozen whipped topping that is found in the freezer section of the grocery store. I like it a lot because I’m lazy and don’t like beating heavy cream to making whipped cream. 😉
• Powdered sugar - for sweetness
• Mixed Berries - blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries. Diced intosmaller pieces to fit on top of the cup
• See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

How to make Cookie Fruit Cups

Preheat oven to 350.

Take about a ½ inch sized cookie dough ball and press them into every one of the muffin tin cups.

Bake at 350 for 7 minutes.

While the cookie dough is baking mix the frosting. In a bowl combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and cool whip with a mixer. Fill the frosting into a piping bag and cut the bottom where the tip goes with a scissors.

Let the cookie dough cups cool.

Once the cookie dough cups have cooled, fill the cups with the cream cheese mixture. Top with blueberries and cut strawberries.

Serving size: 1 fruit pizza
