Ingredients
1(1-pound) package premade Pillsbury sugar cookie dough, can also use homemade
1 (8-ounce) packagecream cheese, at room temperature
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a round glass pizza pan or 9x13-inch pan. I used a 9x13-inch pan lined with parchment paper, so I could pull it out to decorate at the end.
Press the dough into the pan, about 1/8 inch thick. Pierce the dough several times with a fork.
Bake 10 to 15 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Be careful not to brown. Let cool completely.
In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla with an electric mixer. Using a rubber spatula, fold in softened cool whip.
Once the crust has cooled, evenly spread half of the frosting over the top with a rubber spatula. Top with berries. I like to make a rectangle in the top left corner with blueberries and then build the stripes with the raspberries.
Place the remaining frosting in a piping bag fitted with a 1M tip. Pipe the frosting in between the fruit stripes.
Feel free to substitute any of the fruit toppings with blackberries, grapes, bananas, and more.
Flag size: If you want to make the actual number of stars and stripes, you may want to try doubling the recipe and baking in a big sheet pan.Storage: Store leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
