Can you believe I almost didn’t get the CRUMBL fruit pizza cookie when they had it out? In my mind, it seemed so simple and plain so I wasn’t planning on grabbing it on my cookie run.
Until a fellow follower said that it was the best cookie she had ever tried. So obviously, I was convinced, I added it to my list and grabbed it a few weeks ago. I was pleasantly surprised!
This is the best fruit pizza cookie recipe ever!
The Crumbl fruit pizza cookie was thick, yet soft and chewy. It was also topped with a slightly lemony cream cheese frosting and then decorated with some fresh fruits on top. The only thing I would change would be the amount of fruit that I would want on top.
This is what makes this recipe so perfect, you can literally decorate it as you please. Want more fruits, add more. Want fewer fruits, add fewer fruits. You’re your own master, my friend 🙂
This mini version of the very popular and very trendy fruit pizza is also perfect for parties and events. People can just grab and no as opposed to the need to slice and serve when it comes to larger fruit pizzas.

What’s a fruit pizza cookie?
As you might’ve guessed, fruit pizzas are a play on your usual savory pizzas but made sweet.
These fruit pizzas are often made using a sugar cookie base, then topped with cream cheese or whipped cream frosting, and finally decorated with fresh fruits.
It’s the perfect summer cookie or summer dessert recipe in my eyes. It combined the comfort of a cookie with the freshness of fruits!

Notes
What if my buttercream is too thin?
If the buttercream is a little too thin, place it in the fridge for 10 minutes and then mix again to get it fluffy. This should allow the butter to set and become thick again. This often happens if the butter was too soft to start with or if your kitchen is really hot. How to store these cookies? Store these frosted sugar cookies in the fridge for up to 7 days. You can also freeze them in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Just place them in the freezer to thaw overnight before enjoying them!Nutrition

Is there creme of tartar in it or not?
In one place, it is an ingredient but in another it is not.
I’m wanting these for a birthday party….. DELICIOUS!!
No cream of Tartar!
Thanks for the recipe! This is the best fruit pizza cookie out there. The lemon zest makes a huge difference in both cookie and frosting! Yummy!
Thank you for the kind words! I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe 🙂
great recipe, the cookies are delicious and taste just like crumbl.
The one call-out I would have is with the cookie dough. mine came out a little dry which I attribute to the environment ( used the 2x recipe.) If your dough is kind of dry because you live in a dry hot environment, I recommend adding a splash or two of milk. if your dough feels dry and is cracking a bit, that’s a sign to add some milk. I added the heavy cream for the buttercream as well because it added the needed fat as well.
I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe and these are amazing tips!
If you had this cookie at Crumble and you want to make an IDENTICAL one at home you will be so happy! The recipe is so so easy to follow and the frosting turned out Amazing! We were eating it from the bowl!! 😄 The cookie is soft and delicious and I couldn’t be happier!!! The whole family loved them. I’m so excited to make this for any occasion and for all my friends and family!!! On to the next recipe!!! 💪🏻😍
What an awesome comment! Thank you so much Kate!
These cookies are delicious! It feels like you’re being more healthy as apposed to eating other cookies even though you’re really not 😉
Haha exactly Promise!
Hello. I scooped my cookie dough out with a disher, like an ice cream scoop. They didn’t flatten out and stayed big mounds. Not so great for the desired application to be flat for fruit pizzas. I followed the recipe exactly and even used the gram measurements. Did you flatten your dough before you baked it?
I didn’t specifically flatten these, but that could just be because of dough temperature. Yours may have just been a bit cooler than mine, it’s pretty hot where I live. It’s ok to flatten them down when they come out of the oven or you can do it beforehand next time.
Loved these especially how thick they turned out ..my frosting was a little thin so I used your tip about putting it in the fridge worked perfectly ..great tip great recipe and a delicious cookie
Putting the frosting in the fridge is key if it’s too loose to frost your cookies. It’ll help chill it and keep it stable enough to frost the cookies.

THIS LADY IS SO TALENTED!! she never misses on any of her cookies including this one, everyday I look and see if there’s another cookie recipe, and today it was amazing. my siblings had them for breakfast and told my mom it was “nutritious because of the fruit.” TRY THEM, TRY THEM, TRY THEM!!
hahhaha! I love that you said: I told my mom these are nutrition because they have fruit in them! You are so funny Kaitlyn!
Glad you enjoyed these cookies and can’t wait for you to try more of the ones that are coming out soon!
