Equipment

Ingredients

16.5 ounce refrigerated sugar cookie dough
8 ounce cream cheese; softened
⅓ cup sugar
¼ cup fresh blueberries
3 cups fresh strawberries

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Roll the refrigerated sugar cookie dough into a rectangle between two sheets of parchment paper, or press it directly into a rectangular baking pan.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
Let the cookie crust cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Carefully transfer it to a wire rack and cool completely.
Beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
Wash, dry, and slice the strawberries.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled cookie crust.
Arrange the blueberries in the upper left corner, then add the strawberries to create the stripes of the flag.
Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

Tips

Bake the sugar cookie crust until the edges are lightly golden, then let it cool completely before adding the frosting.
Pat the strawberries and blueberries dry before decorating to help the frosting stay in place.
For the neatest flag design, arrange the fruit on a cutting board first before placing it on the frosted cookie.

Storage & Make Ahead

Cover and refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days.
You can bake the cookie crust and prepare the frosting a day ahead, then decorate with the fruit before serving.
If using banana slices, add them just before serving to help prevent browning.
