I wanted to contribute a dessert pizza to the meal today. Wanted to, that was; until I had an epic fail.

| Finished Dessert |
I haven't made one in a long time (in fact my husband can't ever remember having one, it's been that long).
I forgot that cookie dough enlarges and flattens as it bakes. OOPS.
The sugar cookie dough I rolled flat for the crust baked past the edges of my baking stone, and flowed over to the oven bottom.
I tried (without success ) to transfer it to a larger pizza pan, upside down; with my husband's help. I put in back in the oven, but it cracked, and fell apart.
Now what to do with these ingredients?
purchased roll of sugar cookie dough
2 bricks cream cheese
1 cup powered sugar
2 TB vanilla, divided
1/2 pint blueberries- washed
1 pint strawberries- washed and stems removed
 |
| Fresh Berries |
Lay dough out of refrigerator and allow to warm slightly. Roll out onto a cookie sheet, leaving at least 3" on the outside edges.
Bake according to directions.
Bake until crumbly, but not too dry, and browning is not necessary.
When cool, crumble the cookie into a mixing bowl.
With a fork, mash one of the blocks of cream cheese into the mixture, and stir in 1 TB vanilla, until well blended, but still has large crumb pieces remaining. Add the mixture to a 9" x 9 " square baking dish.

I halved the strawberries, and added the blueberries to the left top corner, and the strawberries in lines all across the pan on top of the cookie mixture.

| Icing |
I added the icing to a zip sandwich bag, a couple of tablespoons at a time, and sealed the top. Cut a small snip in one corner, and use it like a piping bag to add some sweetness to the top layer. I dotted on the "stars", and squeezed the stripes in a line on top of the berries.
Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before cutting into squares, and spooning out.
Let me know if you like this one. When life give you lemons.....
Yummmy!
