Ingredients
  

Sugar cookie bases
  • 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 topping
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries thinly sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 0.5 cup fresh raspberries
Optional apricot glaze
  • 2 tbsp apricot jam mixed with 1 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp water mixed with apricot jam

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

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

Notes

For clean edges and even topping, cool cookies fully before frosting—warm cookies can melt the cream cheese. Store assembled pizzas in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days; the baked cookies keep 3 days before topping. Freezing assembled mini fruit pizzas isn’t recommended, but you can freeze baked cookie rounds for up to 2 months and thaw before frosting. For a lighter option, use reduced-fat cream cheese in the frosting while keeping the same powdered sugar ratio for structure.
