Ingredients
  

  • 16.5 ounces refrigerated sugar cookie dough
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces whipped topping thawed, divided
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 3 cups fresh raspberries

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 12-inch pizza pan.
  • Form Crust: Slice the cookie dough into 1/4-inch rounds. Arrange them on the pizza pan and press into an even layer. Reserve one slice if you want to bake a small cookie star for decoration.

  • Bake Crust: Bake for 11 to 12 minutes, until lightly golden brown. Let the crust cool completely. While it cools, wash and thoroughly dry the blueberries and raspberries.
  • Mix Filling: Beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Beat in 4 ounces of the whipped topping, then gently fold in the remaining 4 ounces until fluffy.
