Barbecue Cocktail Hot Dogs

~ Appetizers, The Platefull Blog

Every time our family serves Fruit Pizza, we have these Barbecue Cocktail Hot Dogs with it. They are both part of our Christmas Eve meal tradition. One of my brothers makes the Fruit Pizza every year, and another makes these hot dogs. They are both kid-friendly and fun to serve!

Fruit Pizza

~ Dessert, Main, The Platefull Blog, Uncategorized

It’s been a minute, but I’m back with a really fun recipe! As we’ve added people to our family, this recipe is often highly debated. When I was a kid, we ate this for dinner, but as our family has grown, no one else seems to consider this a meal….weird. They all consider it dessert. Whatever you want to consider it, it’s delicious! I will admit, I make this as a super-fun-special-treat for my kids. They think its awesome when they get to basically eat cookies for dinner. While fueling their bodies with nourishing food is very important to me, you only live once! My family makes this Fruit Pizza every Christmas Eve, as part of our Christmas Eve Appetizer tradition.

It’s super simple to make. Roll out refrigerated sugar cookie dough into the shape of a pizza and bake according to package directions.

Make the cream cheese frosting and spread over the cooled sugar cookie crust. Set out different types of cut fruit and let people top their fruit pizza the way they like!

8 oz cream cheese

1/2 c powdered sugar

Spread the sugar cookie dough in a pizza sized circle on a pizza pan.  Bake at 375 for 12 min.  Using a mixer, cream together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla.  When the cookie dough is finished cooking, let cool completely.  Once cool, spread the cream cheese mixture over the top of the cookie.  Top with cut fruit of your choice.  (I use berries, apples, kiwi, banana).
