As I promised- here is THE best summer dessert. Its not too sweet, but just the right blend of sweet and a light treat.
Ingredients
1 package of Pillsbury sugar cookie dough (I only use about 3/4 of it)
1 package of cream cheese
Sugar (I use anywhere from 1/4 of a cup to a little more)
Apricot preserves
Peaches
Strawberries
Kiwis
Blueberries
Preparing
I have always used a Pampered Chef baking stone and I'm not sure if you could use a cookie sheet,but I don't see why not. I spray my stone lightly with Pam then spread the cooking dough out to resemble a pizza crust. * I usually use a round pizza stone, but I only had a square one for this occasion- any shape works wonders. Bake according to sugar cooking package and let cool. Run a knife under cookie to ensure it didn't stick. Next you mix the cream cheese (softened) and sugar in a bowl (This can be done while cookie is baking). I add anywhere from 1/4 of a cup to 1/2 of a cup, it's really just to taste. Spread over cookie. Next, spread apricot preserves over the cream cheese. Then place the freshly cut fruit in a neat design. Cover and refrigerate...and ENJOY!

I'm not really a "sweets" fan, but this really is such a refreshing dessert that almost everyone loves!!! Also, it seems really complicated and hard- people think you've slaved all day over it..HA!
Enjoy
