Other Pizza Cookie Love

Sugar cookie pizzas are a traditional all-time favorite that historically is made into one large pizza pan frosted them decorated with fruit.


This is easier no cutting, easier for guests to eat in a mini form, plus if anyone has food allergies you can change the toppings making this a self serve pizza bar.


You can use other favorite kinds of cookie recipes that also taste great with fruits such as: Snickerdoodles, Shortbread  Chocolate Chip Cookies, and also Chocolate Cake Mix Cookie dough any round cookies will work that are sturdy even prepackaged store-bought sugar cookies.
