Recipe from Jeri Lundskog

I got this recipe when I was living in Seattle when I was newly married.  Fruit Pizza is the best and you can put whatever you want on it.  You can also make individual little cookies if you like.  Be careful the dough tends to spread a bit.  I particularly like this after we've had an outside barbecue.

Fruit Pizza

Dough:

1 1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. margarine or butter
1/2 c. shortening
2 eggs
2 1/4 c. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. cream of tartar

Mix above ingredients and bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes on two 13" pizza pans. Cool.

Topping:

1 1/4 c. powdered sugar
2 (8-ounce) pkgs. cream cheese
5 Tbl. fruit juice (pineapple usually used)

Mix above ingredients well and spread evenly on cooled dough. Decorate with fruit of your choice such as strawberries, mandarin oranges, kiwi, pineapple tidbits, grapes, blueberries, starfruit, blackberries, raspberries, etc.
