Ingredients

  • Sugar Cookie Crust
  • 1 16.5-ounce package refrigerated sugar cookie dough
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • Cream Cheese Frosting
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Fruit Toppings
  • 1½ cups fresh blueberries
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
  • 2 medium bananas sliced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice to coat banana slices
  • Optional Fruit Glaze
  • ¼ cup apricot preserves
  • 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Lightly grease or line a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
  • Press the sugar cookie dough evenly into the pan.
  • Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until lightly golden around the edges.
  • Cool the cookie crust completely before decorating.
  • Beat the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and fluffy.
  • Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract; beat until creamy.
  • Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cookie crust using an offset spatula.
  • Toss the banana slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.
  • Arrange the blueberries in the upper-left corner to create the blue section of the flag.
  • Arrange alternating rows of sliced strawberries and banana slices to form the red and white stripes.
  • (Optional) Warm the apricot preserves with water and brush lightly over the fruit for a glossy finish.
  • Refrigerate for 30 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Cool the cookie crust completely before frosting to prevent melting.
  • Pat the fruit dry before decorating to avoid excess moisture.
  • Coat banana slices with lemon juice to slow browning.
  • Decorate shortly before serving for the freshest presentation.
  • Use an offset spatula for a perfectly smooth frosting layer.
  • For cleaner slices, chill before cutting.
