Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ 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
  • 2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • Fresh blueberries
  • Kiwi, peeled and sliced

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a large bowl, cream softened butter and sugar with an electric mixer until fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  3. Beat in egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Dough should be soft but not sticky. Add more flour if too sticky.
  5. Flatten dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out dough on a floured surface to about ¼ inch thickness.
  7. Use a 3-inch round cookie cutter to cut out mini circles and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  9. Beat cream cheese and softened butter until smooth and creamy.
  10. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fluffy. Chill if too soft.
  11. Spread cream cheese frosting on each cooled cookie base.
  12. Arrange sliced strawberries for red stripes, kiwi slices for white stripes, and cluster blueberries in one corner for the blue field to create a flag design.
  13. Chill assembled pizzas in the fridge for 15-20 minutes to set frosting. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

Chill the dough for at least 1 hour to prevent spreading. Cool cookies completely before frosting to avoid sogginess. Use fresh, ripe fruit for best texture. If frosting is too soft, chill before spreading. Store assembled pizzas in the fridge and consume within 2 days. Dough and cookie bases can be prepared and baked up to 2 days ahead.
