How to Make Fanciful Fruit Pizza

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Unroll refrigerated sugar cookie dough (16.3 oz) and slice into thin rounds, following package instructions.
Arrange cookie slices in an ungreased 15x10x1 inch baking pan or a 14-inch pizza pan, pressing them together to form a crust. Use floured fingers if needed to evenly distribute the dough.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes.
While the crust cools, prepare the cream cheese frosting: In a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled cookie crust.
Arrange your favorite fresh fruits (such as strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, pineapple, etc.) over the cream cheese frosting. Consider arranging them in a visually appealing pattern.
Drizzle warm apricot marmalade (2 tablespoons) over the arranged fruit.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the pizza to set.
Cut into squares or wedges and serve chilled. Enjoy!
