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