Ingredients: What You’ll Need

  • 1 package of sugar cookie dough (or homemade if you’re feeling adventurous!)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 banana, sliced

Steps to Create This Delicious Flag Dessert

Now that you’ve gathered your ingredients, it’s time to make some magic! Follow these simple steps to whip up your sugar cookie flag fruit pizza:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (or the temperature indicated on your cookie dough package).
  2. If you’re using store-bought dough, roll it out onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Create a large rectangle. If you’re going homemade, roll it out to the same shape!
  3. Bake in the preheated oven according to package instructions or until the edges are lightly golden. This usually takes around 10-15 minutes. Keep an eye on it — no one likes burnt cookies!
  4. Once baked, allow the cookie crust to cool completely on a wire rack. Patience is a virtue here; your frosting will melt otherwise!
  5. While you’re waiting, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
  6. Once the crust has cooled, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the top of the cookie.
  7. Now, the fun part! Arrange the sliced strawberries to mimic the stripes of the flag. Place a square of blueberries in the top left corner for that classic starry effect. You can add sliced bananas to represent the alternate stripes if you like!

Cooking Tips for a Perfect Finish

Before you dive in, here are a few tips to ensure your sugar cookie flag fruit pizza turns out amazing:

  • Feel free to customize the fruit! Other fruits like raspberries or kiwis would add a fun touch.
  • If you’re short on time, pre-made cookie dough is a lifesaver! And no judgment here — we all know how busy life can get.
  • On hot days, keep your dessert chilled in the fridge until you’re ready to serve. This way, it stays fresh and delicious!

This recipe holds a special place in my heart. I remember making it for the first time for my kid’s school event. The look on their face when they saw the “flag pizza” was priceless! It became an instant hit among their friends, which made me feel like a culinary rock star (even if the rockstar thing was just a fleeting moment in my busy mom life!).

Can I substitute ingredients in this recipe?

Absolutely! If you’re not a fan of cream cheese, try whipped topping or yogurt instead. You can also use any fruit you prefer; get creative and make it your own!

How can I store leftovers?

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just be aware that the fruit might start to release some moisture, so it’s best enjoyed fresh.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Sure thing! You can bake the cookie crust ahead of time and prepare the cream cheese mixture. Assemble the fruit right before serving to keep it fresh and vibrant.
