Cookerati

This week we had our track awards picnic.  We needed something easy to make, but also easy to handle.  From previous experience, I knew there might not be plates or plastic ware to eat with. The coach doesn’t assign, just says bring something.  The coaches provide pizza.  My son received  an award  for each of the records his relay teams were responsible for setting.  He also received the Coaches Award.  he didn’t have the most points, but he was up there and also worked hard at every practice and showed up for every meet.  He  was one of the four kids on the team to go to Regionals.  Anyway, we made this quick and easy treat – my son started it, and my daughter and I helped to slice and throw the fruit on before we left. 

Ingredients:

• 2 packages of sugar cookie dough
• 1 package cream cheese
• 1/2 cup marshmallow fluff
• Kiwi
• Strawberries
• Pineapple
• Red Raspberries

Directions:

Spread the cookie dough out on a baking sheet and bake at 350 until almost done.  A little soft is good.  My son made it darker than I wanted it, but it still worked out.  With a beater, mix the cream cheese and marshmallow fluff together.  Cool the cookie in the pan.  Spread the mixture on top, slice fruit and lay on top of the cream cheese mixture.  Slice.  We didn’t overload it with fruit, like we would normally since it needed to be clean finger food. 

I used my Mario Batalli Pizza Cutter to slice it into the right size.  It’s great for cookie bars as well as pizza.

This would make a great side dish for a graduation or birthday party, it went quickly.
