Time 1h

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup vegetable shortening
½ cup margarine, softened
1 ½ cups white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 large bananas, sliced - or as needed
1 tablespoon lemon juice, or as needed
1 (16 ounce) package fresh strawberries, sliced
1 (6 ounce) container fresh blueberries

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Whisk the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mash the vegetable shortening and margarine together until thoroughly combined, and beat in 1 1/2 cup of sugar, eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix in the flour mixture to make a workable dough, and spread the dough out in a rectangle shape onto an ungreased 12x17 inch baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until very lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
  • While the cookie base is cooling, mash the cream cheese with 1 cup of sugar and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth. Place sliced bananas in a bowl, and gently toss with lemon juice to prevent browning.
  • To decorate the pizza, spread the cream cheese filling all over the cookie base in an even, smooth layer. Place the blueberries in a square in neat, closely-spaced rows, in the left upper corner for blue stars. Arrange alternating stripes of white bananas and red strawberry slices across the pizza. Refrigerate leftovers.
