Ingredients
  

Cookie Crust
  • 1 package premade Pillsbury sugar cookie dough 1 pound
  • Cream Cheese Frosting
  • 1 package cream cheese 8 ounces, at room temperature
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces Cool Whip at room temperature
Fruit Topping
  • 10 ounces raspberries plus more if needed
  • 6 ounces blueberries plus more if needed

Equipment

  • 9×13-inch pan
  • Parchment paper, optional
  • Fork
  • Mixing bowl
  • Hand mixer or stand mixer
  • Rubber spatula
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Measuring spoons
  • Plastic wrap
  • Refrigerator

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch pan or line it with parchment paper.
  3. Press the sugar cookie dough evenly into the pan, about 1/8 inch thick.
  4. Prick the dough several times with a fork so it does not puff too much while baking.
  5. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.
  6. Let the cookie crust cool completely before adding the frosting.
  7. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
  8. Gently fold in the Cool Whip until the frosting is fully combined.
  9. Spread about half of the frosting over the cooled cookie crust.
  10. Arrange blueberries in the upper-left corner and along the border, then use raspberries to create red stripes.
  11. Pipe or spread the remaining frosting between the raspberry rows to create the white stripes.
  12. Chill until ready to serve, then slice and serve cold.

Notes

Cool the cookie crust fully before frosting.
Dry berries gently before arranging them.
Keep chilled until serving.
Use extra berries as needed to fill the design.
