Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a 14-inch pizza pan or baking sheet by lining with parchment paper or spraying with cooking spray and dusting with flour.
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg, lemon zest, and vanilla, mixing well until combined.
- Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt, mixing until combined.
- Pat the cookie dough into the pan, pressing it in a thin layer all the way to the edges. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, just until the edges of the crust are a light golden brown. Don't overbake so the cookie stays soft. Cool completely.
- While the cookie crust cools, beat the cream cheese in a medium bowl for 1 minute until creamy and smooth. Add the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract, beating until combined.
- Spread over the cookie crust, then top in a decorative design with the fruit of your choosing. Keep in the fridge until ready to serve. Best the day it is made.

Notes
- You can make the cookie crust 1 day in advance and wrap it in plastic wrap. Store at room temperature overnight and assemble the next day just before serving. Store any leftovers in the fridge for 1-2 days.
