Patriotic Cookie Pizza

Thanks to Pillsbury.com here's a great 4th of July recipe for you!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1 roll (16.5 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated sugar cookies

1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup powdered sugar

2 teaspoons grated lemon peel

2 cups fresh raspberries

1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries

1/4 cup apple jelly, melted

 

Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 12-inch pizza pan with cooking spray. Cut cookie dough into 1/4-inch slices; place in pan. With floured fingers, press evenly over bottom to form crust.

 

Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until deep golden brown. Cool completely, about 25 minutes.

 

In medium bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar and lemon peel until fluffy. Spread over baked crust. Arrange raspberries in large star shape in center. Arrange blueberries around raspberries. Drizzle or brush with melted jelly. Refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes. Store in refrigerator.

Blueberry Muffins

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 egg
4 tablespoons butter, or margarine*
3/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Grease a muffin pan with 2+1/2-inch diameter cups, or line with paper baking cup liners; set aside.

In a bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; add frozen blueberries, and make a well in the center. Pour the milk into a 2 cup glass measure and add egg and butter; blend well.

Pour liquid all at once into flour well. (This allows you to mix the batter with fewer strokes, avoiding overstiring.) Making 12 to 15 full circular strokes that scrape the bottom of bowl; stir just until dry are moistened. Batter 'should' be lumpy.

Fill each prepared muffin cup 2/3 full with batter. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until tops are lightly browned. Remove muffins from pan immediately (otherwise moisture condenses on bottom of cups and muffins become soggy).

Makes 12.
