It didn't take me long to find exactly what I wanted to make... an American Flag Cookie Cake. The recipe I found was easy, quick, and just looked so dang good.
Ingredients
The Cookie
1 1/3 cups of all-purpose flour
11 tablespoons of unsalted butter (softened)
1/3 cup light brown sugar (packed)
The Toppings
4 oz of cream cheese (room temperature)
8 tablespoons of unsalted butter (room temperature)
3/4 cup of powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup blueberries
3 cups raspberries
1/4 cup white chocolate chips
Equipment
9x13 rimmed baking sheet
Directions
The Cookie
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
2. Whisk together flour and brown sugar.
3. Using a fork (or a pastry blender), mix in the butter until it is the consistency of wet sand.
4. Press the cookie dough firmly in the bottom of your baking sheet.
5. Cook for 10-15 minutes until it is golden.
6. Take out of oven and place pan on a wire rack to cool down.
7. If you have a platter that you want to serve your cake on, transfer it now. (I left mine in the pan.)
The Frosting
1. Using a mixer (I used a hand mixer), mix the cream cheese until it is smooth.
2. Add the butter and mix until they are combined.
3. Add in the powdered sugar and vanilla and mix until combined.
4. DO NOT OVER BLEND or it will become runny.
Decorating
1. Spread the cream cheese in an even layer covering the entire cake.
2. Position the blueberries in the top left corner to make the blue portion of the flag. (I did 10x10)
3. Position the raspberries in horizontal rows leaving about a 1 inch space between each row.
4. Put the white chocolate chips between the blueberries to make the stars.
Either serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve!
