Ingredients

  • 2 rolls sugar cookie dough
  • 3 blocks 8 ounce cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 can whipped topping
  • fresh fruit

Instructions

  • Spread a thin layer of cookie dough to cover the bottom of a baking sheet. I used at 13"x 18", and it took 2 rolls of cookie dough. Any size pan will work fine. It just depends on how many you want to serve.
  • Bake until lightly golden. I just used the baking instructions on the cookie dough package, which was about 15 minutes at 350 degrees.
  • When it is done, take out of the oven and let cool completely.
  • Mix softened cream cheese (I used 3-8 ounce bars for this size pan) with about 1/2 cup sugar. Beat until smooth. .
  • Spread the cream cheese mixture over the top of your cookie dough.
  • Next, garnish with fruit. I used blueberries, raspberries and strawberries to create a flag pattern, but you could use any fruit you like and arrange any way.
  • For the flag design, I used canned whipped topping to create the white stripes between the fruit stripes. And I used a small cookie cutter and cut stars out of a banana.

Notes

If you take the cookie dough out of the refrigerator and let is soften for a bit, it makes it so much easier to cover your baking sheet.
Also, if you soften the cream cheese, it mixes with the sugar much easier and is much more spreadable.
