Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tube refrigerated sugar cookie dough
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional Decorations: 10 Hershey’s Kisses, Purple string licorice, White decorators gel, Sprinkles, candy, or toppings of choice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare a nonstick pizza pan or grease a regular one.
- Press sugar cookie dough into a flat circle that fits the pizza pan.
- Bake for 12–14 minutes, until edges are golden. Cool completely for at least 20 minutes.
- To make the frosting, mix powdered sugar, softened butter, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust consistency with more milk or sugar as needed.
- Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cookie pizza base.
- Decorate your cookie pizza with desired toppings like candies, sprinkles, or themed decorations.
- Slice the cookie pizza into pizza-like slices and serve.
Notes
- Cool the cookie base completely before frosting to prevent the icing from melting.
- Avoid overbaking the cookie base; the edges should be golden, not crispy.
- Use good quality vanilla extract for a richer frosting flavor.
- Chilling the decorated cookie pizza briefly can help the frosting set before slicing.
- Store any leftover cookie pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
