Haven't found a good, quick dessert to take to your get together this weekend? You may want to give this yummy recipe from Taste of Home a try. The star/border combo is so simple and looks just darling, doesn't it? If you try the dessert, come back and let me know how it worked out for you.

Ingredients:

• 1 tube (18 ounces) refrigerated sugar cookie dough, softened
• 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• 1 cup halved fresh strawberries

Directions:

• Press cookie dough onto an ungreased 12-in. pizza pan. Bake at 350° for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
• In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar and extract until smooth. Spread over crust. In center of tart, arrange berries in the shape of a star; add a berry border. Refrigerate until serving. Yields: 16 servings.
