Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • ½ cup fresh raspberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat ¾ cup softened unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in 1 large room-temperature egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and press evenly into a rectangle about ¼ to ½ inch thick.
  7. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden and center is set. Check at 15 minutes to avoid overbaking.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool completely on the pan.
  9. While the cookie cools, beat together 8 oz softened cream cheese and ½ cup softened butter until creamy and smooth.
  10. Gradually add 1 ½ cups sifted powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, mixing until fluffy.
  11. Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled cookie base using a spatula.
  12. Arrange the berries to create a patriotic flag design: blueberries in the top left corner, sliced strawberries in rows for red stripes, and raspberries for red accents.
  13. Place the assembled pizza in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to let the frosting firm up and flavors meld.

Notes

Do not overmix the dough after adding flour to avoid tough cookies. Use room temperature butter and eggs for better texture. Wet your hands slightly when pressing dough to prevent sticking. Cool cookie completely before frosting to prevent melting. Pat berries dry before arranging to avoid soggy frosting. Chill assembled pizza for at least 30 minutes before serving for best results.
