Ingredients

Glaze

  • 1 (16 oz) package of refrigerated cookie dough, softened
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsps fresh lemon juice
  • 1-1/2 tsps cornstarch
  • 2 tsps strawberry gelatin
  • 3 tbsps bottled or filtered water
  • 1/8 tsp kosher salt

Filling

  • 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Topping:

  • 2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
  • 1/4 cup white chocolate chips, melted

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Press sugar cookie dough into a 9 x 13-inch rimmed baking sheet. Use a piece of wax paper to press the dough evenly onto the pan. Bake dough for 13-15 minutes until just golden brown. (Do not overbake.) Allow to cool on a cooling rack for about 30 minutes or until cookie crust reaches room temperature.
  • To make strawberry glaze, add prepared strawberries to a small mixing bowl and mash them with a fork or potato masher. Next, add mashed strawberries to a medium saucepan along with sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, gelatin, water and salt. Bring to a slow boil over medium heat while stirring continuously. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the strawberry sauce is thick. Remove from heat and pour into in a clean bowl. Allow strawberry glaze to cool to room temperature. About 30 minutes.
  • To make strawberry pizza filling, use a hand mixer and medium-sized mixing bowl to blend softened cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the side of the bowl to ensure all of the sugar has been incorporated into the cream cheese. Once blended, place the cream cheese mixture into the refrigerator while the other ingredients cool to room temperature.
  • Once cookie crust and glaze have cooled to room temperature, use an icing spatula or rubber spatula to spread cream cheese filling over the top of the cookie surface.
  • Then using a clean spatula, spread strawberry glaze over the cream cheese layer. Add a layer of sliced strawberries in rows across the surface of the strawberry glaze. Finally, drizzle melted white chocolate across the sliced strawberries. Refrigerate for 20 minutes to allow time for the strawberry pizza to set.
