Have your kids decorate this simple recipe for a Fourth of July picnic.
Prep Time: 35 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 pkg. refrigerated sugar cookie dough
- 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
- 2 Tbsp. butter, softened
- 2-3 Tbsp. milk
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
- blueberries, raspberries, strawberries
Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a cookie sheet and then press the cookie dough into a rectangular shape that is about 1/8" thick. Press your thumbs into the edges to create a scalloped border. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges begin to brown. Remove from oven and cool completely.
While the crust is cooling, mix the cream cheese, butter, 2 Tbsp. milk, powdered sugar, and lemon juice in a medium bowl; beat until fluffy. Add more milk if necessary until spreading consistency is reached. Spread over the cooled cookie, leaving the scalloped border exposed.
Arrange the fruit in an American flag design. Blueberries will form the blue field in the upper left hand corner, and use the raspberries and/or strawberries for the horizontal stripes. Cut into squares to serve. Serves 12
