Personal Mini Fruit Pizzas

Nothing says it's almost summertime better than a scrumptious dessert made with fresh fruit, and these personal mini fruit pizzas are just that!  Not only is this a light tasting and flavorful dessert, but you also have the opportunity to garnish it with your favorite fruit.

Another wonderful thing about these little, addicting (yes, super addicting) cookies is that they're incredibly quick and very simple to make.  I ended up only having about an hour and a half to get these cookies baked and decorated, due to the fact that I'd been invited over to an impromptu dinner party.  At the time, it didn't seem like it could be done, but in the end, I actually had time to spare.  However, when I make these cookies again (and I definitely will), I think I'll try baking a batch of homemade sugar cookies.
