Ingredients:
1 16-oz package of ready-made sugar cookie dough
1 pint blueberries
2 pints strawberries
8 oz. cream cheese (*do NOT use low-fat)
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 t vanilla
Before you start on the dough, take the cream cheese out of the refrigerator so it can come to room temperature.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On a pizza pan or cookie tray covered with failed or parchment paper, smash/spread cookie dough to form whatever shape fruit pizza you would like. A rectangular pan makes a nice U.S. flag, for instance. Kraft suggests cutting the dough into cookies and pressing the cookies together to form a circle.
Bake your huge cookie at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Let come to room temperature before attempting to frost. Wash fruit and slice strawberries while waiting for the cookie to cool and the cream cheese to come to room temperature.
When cream cheese is no longer cold, combine in a mixing bowl with sugar and vanilla and beat until smooth. I learned the hard way that it is very important that the cream cheese is room temperature - within seconds of turning on the mixer, the whole chunk of cheese was stuck in the beaters.

*Note: Kraft adds a step that I skipped because I ran out of time. Mix 1/4 cup apricot preserves with 1 tablespoon water, push through a sieve to remove lumps, and brush across the top of the pizza. This creates that clear glaze that you see on fruit pizzas in the store. I'm sure you could do this with other flavors of preserves too. Paula Deen drizzles melted chocolate chips on top, which certainly sounds amazing too.
