Method
 

Make and bake the sugar cookie crust
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F, then press cookie dough into a round pizza pan to form an even crust.
  2. Bake at 350°F for 12-14 minutes until golden, then cool completely before topping.
Prepare the cream cheese layer
  1. Beat cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
  2. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
Assemble the strawberry topping
  1. Arrange the sliced strawberries in overlapping circles across the top.
  2. Brush the warmed strawberry glaze or jam over the fruit for a glossy finish.
  3. Chill for 30 minutes before slicing into wedges to serve.

Notes

Cool the crust fully before adding the cream cheese layer so it doesn’t melt or slip. For storage, refrigerate covered for up to 3 days (best texture within 24 hours); freeze only the baked, cooled crust for up to 1 month, then thaw and assemble with fresh strawberries. For a dairy-free option, use a dairy-free cream cheese substitute and plant-based butter in the crust.
