Ingredients

Scale

1 package refrigerated sugar cookie dough, about 16.5 ounces
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup sliced strawberries
1 cup peeled and sliced kiwi
3/4 cup blueberries
3/4 cup mandarin orange segments, drained and patted dry
1/2 cup seedless red grapes, halved
2 tablespoons apricot preserves
1 teaspoon water

Instructions

Preheat the oven. Set your oven to 350°F. Line a 12-inch pizza pan with parchment paper so the crust releases easily later.
Shape the cookie crust. Press the sugar cookie dough into an even circle about 1/4 inch thick. Leave a little space around the edge because the dough will spread as it bakes.
Bake until lightly golden. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are pale golden and the center looks set.
Cool completely. Let the crust cool on the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack if possible. Wait until fully cool before adding toppings.
Make the creamy topping. While the crust cools, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl for 2 minutes, until smooth, fluffy, and spreadable.
Spread the topping. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled cookie crust.
Arrange the fruit. Arrange the strawberries, kiwi, blueberries, mandarin oranges, and red grapes in a colorful, even layer over the cream cheese topping.
Make the apricot glaze. In a small microwave-safe bowl, mix apricot preserves and water until smooth. Use a pastry brush or spoon to drizzle the glaze over the fruit topping.

Notes

Use chilled cookie dough for easier handling. If the fruit releases juice, gently pat the slices dry before arranging. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 2 days. For a vegan option, substitute dairy-based ingredients with vegan alternatives.
