Ingredients
- 1 package refrigerated sugar cookie dough (16–18 ounces)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup blueberries
- 2 cups sliced strawberries
- 1 cup raspberries (optional)
- 1 banana, sliced (optional, for white stripes)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Press the sugar cookie dough evenly into a lightly greased rectangular baking pan.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until lightly golden around the edges.
- Allow the cookie crust to cool completely.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
- Mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until the frosting is light and fluffy.
- Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cookie crust.
- Arrange the blueberries in the upper-left corner to create the stars section of the flag.
- Place rows of sliced strawberries across the pizza to form the red stripes.
- Leave strips of frosting exposed between the strawberries or use banana slices to create the white stripes.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Dry all fruit thoroughly before decorating to prevent excess moisture.
- Homemade sugar cookie dough can be used instead of refrigerated dough.
- Add lemon zest to the frosting for a fresh citrus flavor.
- Whipped topping can replace part of the cream cheese for a lighter texture.
- Best served within 1–2 days for optimal freshness.
- Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Not recommended for freezing after assembly.
