List of Ingredients

1 tube (18 ounces) refrigerated sugar cookie dough*

2 packages (one 8 ounces, one 3 ounces) cream cheese, softened

3/4 cup confectioners' sugar

4 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice

1/2 cup fresh blueberries

2 cups quartered fresh strawberries




Recipe

Press cookie dough into a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.

In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Set aside 1/4 cup.


Spread remaining cream cheese mixture over crust. Decorate with blueberries and strawberries to resemble a flag.


Cut a small hole in a corner of a pastry or plastic bag. Insert star tip #16. Fill with reserved cream cheese mixture. Beginning in one corner, pipe stars in the spaces between the blueberries.


*Please Note: 2 cups of any sugar cookie dough can be substituted for the refrigerated dough.
