Pumkin Pizza

We had a couple of last minute entries into our Halloween Recipe Contest.  Here is our first one.  This comes from the kitchen of Sarah.  This sounds really good and I think I am going to try this, my girls would love it.

Soft Sugar Cookie:
1 c. margarine
1 heaping c. sugar 
2 eggs
1 egg yolk
3 1/2 c. flour
1 1/2 tsp. powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. lemon juice
1 spoonful of sour cream

Fruit Dip:
8oz cream cheese
1/2 c. sour cream
1 c. whipped cream
1/4 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. white sugar
1 TBSP maple syrup
1 tsp. vanilla

To make the sugar cookie crust: Cream butter and sugar.  Add eggs, vanilla, and lemon.  Then mix in dry ingredients until it looks like cookie dough.  Then mix in the spoonful of sour cream and it should look more like frosting, but can roll in your hand.  Divide in 2 and wrap in plastic wrap (each one will make a pumpkin).   Refrigerate for one hour.  Mix together the all the ingredients for the dip as you wait, and place the dip in the refrigerator.  Roll into a pumpkin shape about 1/2" thick.  Bake in a preheated 375-degree oven for 10-12 minutes or until the least bit of brown is seen. 

Color the dip orange for the pumpkin and green for the stem, and frost the cooled cookie.

For the pumpkin fruit pizza: For the fruit topping, I used bananas for the mouth and eyes, and melted chocolate to outline the face (the bananas taste great with the chocolate!).  I used kiwi for the stem, and strawberries, blueberries, or other berries on the outline of the pumpkin.  I put mandarin oranges everywhere else.

Thank you for your entry Sarah and Good Luck.  I will be announcing the finalists soon.
