Sugar cookie dough makes a fun foundation for this fantastic fruit pizza. The tender crust complements the sweetened cream cheese and colorful "toppings". After you serve up the last slice, be prepared to make another pizza.

Tip

Banana Basics

Look for plump bananas that are evenly yellow-colored. Green bananas are under-ripe, while a flecking of brown flecks indicates ripeness. If bananas are too green, place in a paper bag until ripe. Adding an apple to the bag will speed the process. Store ripe bananas at room temperature. To prevent bruises, a banana hook or hanger is a great inexpensive investment. For longer storage, you can place ripe bananas in a tightly sealed plastic bag and refrigerate. The peel will become brown but the flesh will remain unchanged. One pound of bananas equals about 3 medium or 1-1/3 cups mashed.

Super easy to make. In a quick fix I used a package mix for the cookie dough and learned very quickly it's so much easier to slice it once it comes out of the oven. Slicing a cold cookie loaded with everything was difficult, so do it beforehand, it saves a load of time and easier on your wrist. I even forgot about the marmalade at the end of the recipe and it was just as tasty without it...got rave reviews and requests for this recipe.

Yummy stuff! I forgot how much the cookie dough spreads, so watch out for that. Next time I would make a short dough for it, but in a pinch, the cookie dough works. It went to the party and was gone quick.
