Ingredients
1packagerefrigerated sugar cookie dough(16.5 oz)
1packagecream cheese, softened (8 oz)
⅓cupgranulated sugar
¼supfresh blueberries
3cupsfresh strawberries, sliced
Instructions
Bake Cookie Crust: Preheat your oven to the temperature on the cookie dough package. Press the dough evenly into a round pizza pan to make one big crust. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown. Let it cool completely.
(If you do not let it cool, your frosting will melt into a messy puddle!)
Mix Cream Cheese & Sugar: In a medium bowl, blend the softened cream cheese and sugar together. Use a hand mixer until the frosting is smooth and creamy.
Spread on Crust: Spread the sweet cream cheese mixture evenly over your cooled cookie crust. Leave a tiny border around the edge so you can see the golden crust.
Arrange Fruit Like the Flag: Put the blueberries in a square in the top left corner to look like the stars. Arrange your sliced strawberries in neat rows across the rest of the pizza to make the red stripes.
Notes
Watch the Bake: Pull the crust out when edges are light golden brown to keep it chewy.
Cool Completely: Never frost a warm crust, or the cream cheese will melt into a puddle.
Soften First: Use room-temperature cream cheese to avoid stubborn lumps in the frosting.
Pat Berries Dry: Wet fruit makes the frosting runny; dry them well before decorating.
