TIME: Prep: 30 min. Bake: 10 min. + cooling
Ingredients:
- 1 tube (18 ounces) refrigerated sugar cookie dough
- 2 packages (one 8 ounces, one 3 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
- 4-1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 cups quartered fresh strawberries
Directions:
Press cookie dough into a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Set aside 1/4 cup. Spread remaining cream cheese mixture over crust.

Beginning in one corner, pipe stars in the spaces between the blueberries. Yield: 12-15 servings. Editor's Note: 2 cups of any sugar cookie dough can be substituted for the refrigerated dough.
