Fourth of July Berry Sweetza Pizza

Ingredients

16 ounces sugar cookie dough
4 cups berries (sliced strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and/or blackberries)
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cup powdered/confectioner's sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Spray a cookie sheet with nonstick spray. Roll or press the cookie dough out to about 1/4 inch thickness and place it on the cookie sheet. (If you are pressing instead of rolling, do it directly on the cookie sheet.) Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes, until light golden brown throughout. Let cool.

2. Blend the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla. Spread over the cooled crust. Arrange the berries over the frosting in a flag pattern. Chill for at least 30 minutes, then cut into wedges for serving.
