Roll out the refrigerated sugar cookie dough onto a greased 12-inch pizza pan or baking sheet to form a large circle, about 1/4-inch thick.
Bake the cookie base in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled cookie base, leaving a small border around the edges.
Arrange the sliced strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and diced kiwi (if using) in a decorative pattern on top of the cream cheese layer. Create a patriotic design, such as stripes and a corner of blueberries for the 'stars' to resemble the American flag.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the apricot preserves and water. Microwave for 10-15 seconds, then stir until smooth.
Using a pastry brush, lightly glaze the fruit with the apricot mixture to give it a shiny finish.
Refrigerate the fruit pizza for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow it to set. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
You can substitute other fruits like blackberries or mango for a different flavor profile. Ensure the cookie base is completely cooled before adding the cream cheese layer.
