Creating your Sugar Cookie Flag Fruit Pizza is a fun and rewarding experience. Follow these steps for a delicious outcome:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your cookie base bakes evenly.
2. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
4. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
5. Add Egg and Extracts: Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract until combined.
6. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
7. Shape the Cookie Base: Press the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, forming a large circle or rectangle about ½ inch thick.
8. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
9. Cool the Cookie: Once baked, remove from the oven and let the cookie cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Prepare the Frosting: In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy.
11. Frost the Cookie: Once the cookie base is completely cool, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top.
12. Arrange the Fruit: Decorate the frosted cookie with blueberries in the top left corner, arranged like stars. Create stripes with sliced strawberries and bananas, alternating to resemble the flag.
13. Finish with Kiwi and Raspberries: Use kiwi slices for a green accent and add raspberries for additional red stripes.
14. Chill: If desired, refrigerate the fruit pizza for 30 minutes before serving to allow the frosting to set.
