Ingredients
  

sugar cookie dough
  • 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 toppings
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries thinly sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 0.5 cup fresh raspberries
apricot glaze (optional)
  • 2 tbsp apricot jam mixed with water
  • 1 tbsp water for glaze

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Bake the sugar cookie bases
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and slice refrigerated sugar cookie dough into 1/2-inch rounds, placing on parchment-lined baking sheets.
  2. Bake for 8–10 minutes, until edges are golden but centers still look slightly underdone, then cool completely.
Make frosting and assemble
  1. Beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until completely smooth.
  2. Spread a generous layer of cream cheese frosting over each cooled cookie, leaving a small border.
  3. Decorate each mini pizza with strawberry slices, blueberries, and raspberries in a flag stripe pattern, star shape, or scattered design.
  4. If desired, brush fruit lightly with warmed apricot jam mixed with water for a glossy finish, then refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

For the cleanest mini tops, chill the frosted cookies at least 30 minutes so the frosting sets before serving. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container; the cookies soften slightly over time but stay neatly topped. Freezing isn’t recommended because fresh fruit texture changes after thawing. If you want a lighter option, replace half the powdered sugar with powdered sugar alternative made for frosting to reduce added sugar while keeping the spreadable texture.
