Cookie Fruit Pizza with White Chocolate Frosting

Sugar Cookie Recipe

Mix and sift together

*3 1/4 cup All purpose Flour (Red Rose/Golden West Flour)
*1 teaspoon Soda
*1/2 teaspoon Salt

Cream together

*1/2 cup Butter
*1 cup Sugar
*1 teaspoon Vanilla
*1 Egg

Beat the above ingredients for 2 minutes.

*Add 1/2 Heavy Cream or Whipping Cream or Sour Cream or Cream Cheese, I’ve tried all of these and each one gives the cookie a slightly different taste and they’re all yummy.

There is some tricks to making a good Sugar Cookie with this recipe. After stirring in the cream and flour into the creamed mixture this dough should be slightly sticky but forms a smooth ball. Do Not Over Mix!

Then divide the dough into 3 balls and roll out 1 ball almost 1/2 inch thick and cut out shapes, then add the next ball of dough to the scraps continue this technic until all the dough is used. The last cookies rolled out will be a little tougher than the first ones made.

Bake the cookies 425* F. For 9-12 minutes depending on the thickness of the cookie. Do Not Over Bake! If you do over bake they will become hard.
