Yummy Sugar Cookies
2/3 cup shortening            3 cups flour            1 t vanilla
1 cup sugar                2 t baking powder        1 t salt
2 eggs                ¼ c milk

Fruit Pizza

Sugar Cookie Dough              fresh Strawberries         pineapple tidbits
16 oz cream cheese (2 pks)        mandarin oranges        kiwi fruit, sliced
3 or 4 c Cool Whip                     bananas, sliced (soaked in pineapple juice)
3 or 4 c powdered sugar                                     seedless grapes, sliced

Make sugar cookie dough. Grease pizza pans and press dough into pans. Bake as you would a large cookie. Bake only until very slightly golden color appears on edges. Cool. Mix cream cheese and powdered sugar together; fold in Cool Whip. Spread on cooled cookie dough. 
Top with circular layers of fruit.


*this recipe came from my MIL's sister.
*just so you know,  i could live without the pineapple tidbits, but the juice with the bananas is a must.
*my favorite fruit was actually bananas, blueberries, cantalope, & rasberries. i would highly recommend using these fruits if you can find them fresh locally.




enjoy!
