I’m feeling the red white and blue desserts. They seem to be taking over every blog lately which is great if you are a planner and getting ready for the 4th! I threw these patriotic sugar cookies with my five year old and fell in love with the combo. Blueberries + cream cheese frosting = AMAZING. Why have I not tried this before? Well… Probably because I ate six of them within 10 minutes. Ok, ok… 5 minutes.

Side track for a second, who came up with the term fruit pizza? I’m sure there is a healthier recipe floating somewhere out on the web, but lately the cookie version has been all the buzz. I’ve seen them at parties, baby showers, birthday’s… Genius idea. My hat is off to the person that originally tossed this one out.
You could probably even substitute the raspberries with strawberries. If you don’t want to eat like a million of these in a 24 hour period you should probably pack them up and send them on their way. It’s a great way to share some love with your friends and neighbors.
Looking for more ways to decorate? These could be adorable with a water color look!
