How to Make American Flag Fruit Pizza

Ingredients:

• 1 tube Refrigerated Sugar Cookie Dough (16.5 oz)
• 8 oz Cream Cheese (softened)
• 2/3 cup Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla
• 8 oz Whipped Topping (thawed)
• 12 oz Fresh Raspberries (3 to 4 cups)
• 1 dry pint Fresh Blueberries (about 2 cups)

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
2. Open the tube of cookie dough and slice it into 1/4 inch pieces.
3. Place the cookie dough slices onto a lightly greased 12-inch pizza pan and press them into an even layer. If you like, reserve one slice of dough and bake it separately using a cookie cutter to make a star.
4. Bake the cookie crust for 11-12 minutes until it is lightly browned. Let it cool. In the meantime, wash and dry the berries.
5. Beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla together until smooth. Fold in half of the whipped topping, then add the rest of it.
6. Scoop a little less than half of the cream cheese mixture onto the cooled cookie crust and spread it all the way to the edges.
7. Use blueberries to outline the pizza and create the blue section of the flag, and add the star cookie if you made one.
8. Use raspberries to create seven red stripes.
9. Use the rest of the cream cheese mixture to pipe in the white stripes.
10. Keep the pizza in the fridge until you are ready to serve.
