Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¾ cups (345g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cups (360g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2–3 tablespoons whole milk (or dairy-free milk like almond milk)
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries or sliced kiwi

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your pizza pan or baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 ¾ cups (345g) of flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat 1 cup (226g) softened unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar with a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing on low until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Transfer the dough to your prepared pan and press it evenly into a large circle about ¼ inch (0.6 cm) thick. Wet your hands lightly if dough is sticky.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until edges are golden and center is set but still soft to the touch.
  8. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before frosting.
  9. Beat together 8 ounces (225g) softened cream cheese and ½ cup (115g) softened butter until smooth and creamy.
  10. Gradually add 3 cups (360g) powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, beating on low until combined.
  11. Add 2-3 tablespoons milk to reach desired spreading consistency.
  12. Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled cookie base.
  13. Arrange sliced strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries on top to mimic the red, white (frosting), and blue colors of the flag in a casual pattern.
  14. Refrigerate the fruit pizza for at least 30 minutes to let the frosting set before slicing and serving.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for best dough consistency. Sift powdered sugar for smooth frosting. If edges brown too fast, cover with foil halfway through baking. Pat fruit dry before placing on frosting to prevent sogginess. Can double recipe for larger gatherings. For vegan or gluten-free options, substitute ingredients as noted in variations.
