Ingredients
Sourdough Sugar Cookie Crust:
- 105 grams unsalted browned butter, room temperature (1/2 Cup)
- 180 grams cane sugar (3/4 Cup)
- 55 grams sourdough starter (1/4 Cup)
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
- 205 grams unbleached all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour (1 1/2 Cups)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 salt
Sourdough Fruit Pizza Toppings:
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 3 tbsp butter, room temperature
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
- Fresh Fruit
Instructions
- Mix the room temperature butter and cane sugar in a stand mixer using the paddle attachment until it is light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Scrape down the sides as needed.
- Add the egg, sourdough starter, and vanilla to the butter/sugar mixture and mix on low till combined.
- Next, add the flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix on low till combined well.
- After preparing the dough, transfer it to a mixing bowl and cover it with either plastic wrap or an airtight container. Let the dough chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This step is crucial as it helps the cookie maintain its shape while it bakes in the oven.
- When ready to bake, take the dough out of the refrigerator while the oven is preheating to 350℉. Use a rolling pin/your hands to press the cookie dough onto a pizza pan or baking sheet lined with parchment paper. The dough should be about 1/4" thick and rolled out to 10 1/2" diameter.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookie crust cool completely before adding the toppings.
