Ingredients
  

Mini Patriotic Fruit Pizzas
  • 1 tube refrigerated sugar cookie dough Use 1 tube for 12 mini bases.
  • 8 oz cream cheese Softened to room temperature for smooth frosting.
  • 0.5 cup powdered sugar Sweetens and thickens the frosting.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract Adds flavor to the cream cheese frosting.
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries Thinly sliced for clean flag stripes.
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries Use whole berries for star/scattered designs.
  • 0.5 cup fresh raspberries Great for accent dots and red stripes.
  • 2 tbsp apricot jam Optional glaze for shine.
  • 1 tbsp water Mixed with apricot jam to thin for brushing.

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Bake the cookie bases
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and place parchment on baking sheets. Slice refrigerated sugar cookie dough into 1/2-inch rounds and arrange them on the sheets.
  2. Bake for 8–10 minutes until the edges are golden but the centers still look slightly underdone. Remove and cool the cookies completely.
Make the cream cheese frosting
  1. Beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until completely smooth. Stop and scrape the bowl as needed for a lump-free texture.
Assemble and decorate
  1. Spread a generous layer of cream cheese frosting over each cooled cookie, leaving a small border. Keep the frosting even so the fruit sits cleanly.
  2. Decorate each mini pizza with strawberry slices, blueberries, and raspberries in a flag stripe pattern, star shape, or scattered design. Arrange the colors to match the patriotic theme across the batch.
  3. Warm apricot jam with water until pourable, then brush fruit lightly with the apricot glaze if desired for a glossy finish. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

For the neatest presentation, slice strawberries thin and keep berries dry so the frosting doesn’t thin. Store assembled pizzas covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; freeze unfrosted baked cookie rounds for up to 2 months, then thaw and frost before decorating. For a simpler swap, use low-fat cream cheese to reduce richness while keeping the frosting flavor.
