Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Refrigerated sugar cookie dough
  • 1 tube refrigerated sugar cookie dough Use dough for round bases; follow package size for best results.
Cream cheese frosting
  • 8 oz cream cheese Soften to room temperature so it blends smooth.
  • 0.5 cup powdered sugar Helps thicken frosting and adds sweetness.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract Adds vanilla flavor to the frosting.
Fruit topping
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, thinly sliced Slice thin so they lay flat on the frosting.
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries Use mostly whole berries for a neat flag look.
  • 0.5 cup fresh raspberries Place gently to avoid crushing.
Optional apricot glaze
  • 2 tbsp apricot jam Brushed on warmed jam for shine.
  • 1 tbsp water Mix with apricot jam to thin for easy brushing.

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan
  • 1 oven

Method
 

Bake the sugar cookie bases
  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 with space between cookies for spreading.
  2. Bake for 8–10 minutes, until the edges are golden but the centers still look slightly underdone, then transfer to a rack and cool completely.
Make the cream cheese frosting
  1. Beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until completely smooth, scraping the bowl as needed for an even texture.
Assemble mini fruit pizzas
  1. Spread a generous layer of cream cheese frosting over each cooled cookie, leaving a small border so the fruit can sit neatly on top.
  2. Decorate each mini pizza with sliced strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries in a flag stripe pattern, star shape, or scattered design for a patriotic look.
  3. Mix the apricot jam with water, brush lightly over the fruit for a glossy finish, and then refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

For the cleanest mini topping, cool the cookie bases completely before frosting so the frosting doesn’t melt. Refrigerate assembled pizzas for up to 3 days; they’re not ideal for freezing because fruit and cream cheese can lose texture. For a lighter option, substitute Neufchatel (light cream cheese) for the same volume and reduce powdered sugar slightly to taste.
