Ingredients
  

sugar cookie dough
  • 1 tube refrigerated sugar cookie dough 1 tube refrigerated sugar cookie dough, sliced into rounds
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
  • 2 tbsp apricot jam mixed with water for glaze
  • 1 tbsp water mix with apricot jam for optional glaze

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Bake the cookie bases
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Slice the refrigerated sugar cookie dough into 1/2-inch rounds and place them on parchment-lined baking sheets.
  2. Bake for 8–10 minutes, until the edges are golden but the centers still look slightly underdone. Cool completely to room temperature before frosting.
Make the cream cheese frosting
  1. Beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until completely smooth. Stop and scrape as needed so no lumps remain.
Assemble and decorate
  1. Spread a generous layer of cream cheese frosting over each cooled cookie, leaving a small border. Keep the center even so the fruit sits neatly.
  2. Decorate each mini pizza with strawberry slices, blueberries, and raspberries in a flag stripe pattern, star shape, or a scattered design. Use a light touch so the fruit doesn’t drag the frosting.
  3. Warm the apricot jam with the water to create an optional glaze, then brush the fruit lightly for a glossy finish. Refrigerate until ready to serve, using the cooling time to set the frosting.

Notes

For the cleanest look, cool the cookie rounds fully before spreading frosting—warm cookies can make the cream cheese slide. Store assembled mini pizzas covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; freeze only cookie bases (frost and top after thawing) for best texture. For a lighter option, swap in reduced-fat cream cheese and use powdered sugar that dissolves well for a similar frosting consistency.
