  • 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 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.
