Ingredients
- 1 package sugar cookie dough (about 16 ounces)
- Flour for dusting (to roll out the dough)
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup fresh raspberries (optional)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream or store-bought whipped topping
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the sugar cookie dough to about ¼ inch (6 mm) thickness. Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut out as many circles as possible and transfer them to a parchment-lined baking sheet (about 12 mini pizzas). Chill dough for 10 minutes if sticky.
- Bake cookies for 8–10 minutes or until edges start to turn golden. Avoid overbaking to prevent a hard base.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a chilled mixing bowl, beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract at medium-high speed until medium to stiff peaks form (3–5 minutes).
- Spread about 2 tablespoons of whipped cream evenly over each cookie base. Arrange blueberries in the top-left corner to mimic the stars section of the flag (about ¼ of the space). Create alternating stripes with sliced strawberries across the remaining area. Optionally add raspberries for extra red vibrancy.
- Place assembled fruit pizzas in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes to let the cream set before serving.
Notes
Chill cookie dough if sticky for easier rolling. Avoid overbaking cookies to keep bases tender. Chill bowl and beaters before whipping cream for better peaks. Assemble fruit pizzas shortly before chilling to prevent sogginess. For dairy-free, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use dairy-free cookie dough. For gluten-free, use gluten-free sugar cookie dough or almond flour base. Variations include using seasonal fruits or different shapes like star cutters.
