Ingredients
  

Mini patriotic sugar cookie fruit pizzas
  • 1 tube refrigerated sugar cookie dough Use refrigerated dough for faster prep.
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened Soften until spreadable to avoid lumps.
  • 0.5 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 0.5 cup fresh raspberries
  • 2 tbsp apricot jam Optional glaze base.
  • 1 tbsp water Optional glaze liquid for thinning apricot jam.

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Bake the sugar cookie bases
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F, then slice refrigerated sugar cookie dough into 1/2-inch rounds and place on parchment-lined sheet pans.
  2. Bake for 8–10 minutes, until the edges are golden but the centers still look slightly underdone, then cool completely.
Make the cream cheese frosting
  1. Beat cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until completely smooth.
Assemble and decorate
  1. Spread a generous layer of cream cheese frosting over each cooled cookie, leaving a small border.
  2. Decorate each mini pizza with strawberry slices, blueberries, and raspberries in a flag stripe pattern, star shape, or scattered design.
Glaze (optional) and chill
  1. Mix apricot jam with water, warm slightly until pourable, and brush fruit lightly for a glossy finish if desired.
  2. Refrigerate until ready to serve, about 30 minutes.

Notes

Pro tip: Cool the cookie bases completely before frosting so the topping sets cleanly. Store assembled pizzas covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; freeze unfrosted baked cookie rounds up to 1 month (glaze and fruit fresh after thawing). For a lighter option, use reduced-fat cream cheese and 1:1 powdered sugar substitute for similar sweetness.
