A quick and easy patriotic dessert featuring a sugar cookie base topped with fresh strawberries, blueberries, and whipped cream, perfect for Fourth of July celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (16 oz / 450 g) refrigerated sugar cookie dough
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (to dust the pan)
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: fresh mint leaves
  • Optional: red and blue sprinkles or edible glitter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly dust a 12-inch round pizza pan or baking sheet with 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour to prevent sticking.
  3. Press the cookie dough evenly into the pan, creating a smooth, even layer about ½ inch (1.25 cm) thick.
  4. Bake the cookie base for 18-22 minutes until the edges are golden and the center is slightly soft. Tent with foil if edges brown too quickly.
  5. While the cookie bakes, whip 1 cup heavy whipping cream with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a chilled bowl until soft peaks form (3-5 minutes).
  6. Let the cookie cool completely in the pan, about 30 minutes.
  7. Spread the whipped cream evenly over the cooled cookie base using a spatula.
  8. Arrange sliced strawberries in stripes and scatter blueberries in the star field area to create a Star-Spangled pattern. Add fresh mint leaves and sprinkles if desired.
  9. Serve immediately or chill for up to 2 hours before serving.

Notes

Lightly flour the pan to prevent sticking. Chill the whipped cream bowl and cream for best volume. Let the cookie cool completely before spreading whipped cream to avoid melting. Use fresh berries and dry them well to prevent sogginess. You can substitute dairy-free coconut cream for a vegan version and gluten-free dough for gluten sensitivities.
