To create the cookie crust, cover a pizza pan with aluminum foil and spray it with cooking spray. Form the sugar cookie dough into a ball and press toward the edges of the pizza pan until you have an even layer. Bake at 350 for 14 minutes and let completely cool.
Once it's cooled, carefully invert the cookie onto a large platter or plate and remove the foil. Turn the cookie back over.
Combine the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla in a mixer to make the frosting. Spread it onto the crust in a thin even layer. Then, top the pizza with your favorite combination of fruit or berries, making a fun pattern. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
