Flag Fruit Pizza Recipe

The combination of a cookie crust topped with cream cheese frosting and berries is SO DELICIOUS! The flag design is perfect for July 4th, but you can use this recipe (with a variety of fruit) all summer long.

Ingredients:

1 20-ounce pkg. sugar cookie dough
1 1/2 cups cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
strawberries
blueberries

Glaze:*

1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/2 cup berry juice

*As an alternative, you can use 1/2 cup preserves (apricot, berry, etc.) mixed with 1 T. of water to brush over fruit.

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees.

2. Grease 9×13″ pan and press cookie dough to form a crust. Bake for approximately 10 minutes (or until golden brown). Cool.

3. Mix together cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla. Spread on cooled cookie crust. Arrange strawberries and blueberries to form a flag.

4. To make glaze, place sugar, cornstarch, and berry juice in a saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil, stirring often. Cool.

5. Use a fork to make small holes around the fruit (this will allow the glaze to seep through — yum!). Brush the glaze over the fruit.
