A beautiful
and delicious fruit dessert pizza for brunch or any special occasion.
It is very easy to put together and is a certain crowd pleaser. Your children will love it!
It will not keep well, so plan on using it up. You may also use your own sugar cookie recipe in place of the refrigerated cookie dough.

1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract or other flavoring (almond, orange, or lemon)

Refrigerate until ready to serve.
