Ingredients
  

Sugar cookie dough
  • 1 tube refrigerated sugar cookie dough
Cream cheese frosting
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 0.5 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Patriotic fruit toppings
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries thinly sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 0.5 cup fresh raspberries
Apricot glaze (optional)
  • 2 tbsp apricot jam mixed with 1 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp water for mixing with apricot jam

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Bake the cookie bases
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and slice refrigerated sugar cookie dough into 1/2-inch rounds, placing on parchment-lined baking sheets.
  2. Bake 8–10 minutes until edges are golden but centers still look slightly underdone, then cool completely.
Make the cream cheese frosting
  1. Beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until completely smooth.
Assemble the mini patriotic pizzas
  1. Spread a generous layer of cream cheese frosting over each cooled cookie, leaving a small border.
  2. Decorate each mini pizza with strawberry slices, blueberries, and raspberries in a flag stripe pattern, star shape, or scattered design.
Glaze and chill
  1. Warm apricot jam with water and brush fruit lightly for a glossy finish if desired.
  2. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

Pro tip: cool the cookie bases fully before frosting so the cream cheese stays thick and the fruit doesn’t slide. Store assembled pizzas covered in the refrigerator up to 2 days (best texture within 24 hours); the cookie base may soften over time. Freezing is not recommended because the fruit topping and frosting texture change. For a lighter option, use reduced-fat cream cheese and keep the same frosting method for a similar tangy flavor.
