Equipment

  • 1 Mixer
  • 1 set of measuring cups
  • 2 large bowls
  • 1 Small Bowls
  • 1 Knife
  • 1 Cutting Board
  • 1 Spatula
  • 1 Jelly Roll Pan
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients

Sugar Cookie Dough

  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 12 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup butter softened
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Fresh Fruit

  • blueberries
  • strawberries sliced

Instructions

  • Make the Sugar Cookie Crust: To make the sugar cookie dough, mix together your butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla until well combined. Both an electric mixer or a wooden spoon will work to mix it all together. Once your wet ingredients are well combined, add in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until all the ingredients have formed a consistent dough texture and color.
  • Chill Cookie Dough: Take your bowl of cookie dough and chill it in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Bake the Crust: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. then, line a jelly roll pan with parchment. Roll the chilled dough out onto it into a 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick layer, leaving some space around the edge. Try to shape it into a nice, even rectangle. Next, bake the dough for 20-25 minutes.
  • Shape the Crust: While not totally necessary, you can clean up the edges of your "American Flag" by using a butter knife to cut straight lines on all the edges while it is still warm.
  • Make the Cream Cheese Frosting: Using an electric mixer, combine the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar and vanilla. Mix these together until you have a smooth and creamy frosting. Then spread your frosting over the cooled cookie crust and chill again to firm up the frosting.
  • Decorate With Fruit: Top with fruit! To make the flag design, add blueberries to the top left corner. Next, add sliced strawberries in horizontal rows to the rest of the crust, leaving gaps in between each row.
