Fruit Pizza Cookies
These 4th of July fruit pizza cookies are one of my favorite desserts to bring to summer gatherings. Soft sugar cookies are topped with fluffy cream cheese frosting and finished with fresh strawberries and blueberries for a treat that’s just as beautiful as it is delicious. They come together with minimal effort and tend to disappear just as quickly once they hit the table.
