Strawberry Pizza
Think of a giant sugar cookie with frosting and strawberries, and you have Strawberry Pizza. If you are in a hurry, you can buy sugar cookie dough from your grocery store to use instead of making the crust.Plan Ahead Note: the butter should be cubed and placed back in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to make sure it is really cold. The cream cheese needs to be softened to room temperature.
