Cookie Pizzas

Ingredients:

1 roll (18 oz.) Pillsbury refrigerated sugar cookies. (I think that you could use the chocolate chip cookie dough as an alternative.)
½ c. creamy peanut butter. (You could also use regular icing instead of peanut butter.)
1 ½ c. assorted candies for toppings. (No hard candy.) Try raisins, M&M’s, candy corn, chocolate chips, or mini marshmallows.
¼ c. vanilla ready to spread frosting from a 16 oz. can.

Directions:

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 12 inch round pizza pan with foil and grease foil. Cut cookie dough into ¼ inch-thick slices. Arrange in the pan and press to form a crust.
Bake 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown.
Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
Use foil to lift the crust from the pan. Remove foil and transfer crust to a serving dish.
Spread peanut butter over the crust. Sprinkle evenly with candies.
In a small microwaveable bowl, microwave frosting on high 10 to 15 seconds, until thin and drizzly. Drizzle over the cookie pizza and cut into wedges.

An alternative: the bakery department at my local supermarket sells chocolate chip cookie cakes that they will decorate however you’d like, including Happy Birthday messages!
