cookie pizza

On Sundays we like to have family movie night; complete with popcorn of course. This week we decided to enjoy a fun cookie pizza with our movie night. This little treat was so delicious and simple to make. It was a lot of fun picking out the toppings and putting them on the pizza together.

Here is the cookie crust recipe I used.


INGREDIENTS:

- 1/2 cup of softened butter
- 1/3 cup of firmly packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup of white sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla
- 1 1/3 cup ofunsifted flour
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1/4 tablespoon of salt
- 1/2 cup of chocolate chips (more if you wish)and/or nuts

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350
2. Grease a 13inch round pizza pan
3. Measure butter and sugars
4. Cream butter and sugars with mixer
5. Beat in egg and vanilla; mix well

6. Reduce mixer speed and gradually beat in flour, baking soda, and salt until well mixed.

7. Fold in chocolate chips (and/or chopped walnuts)
8. Spread evenly on pizza pan. Dough must cover pan to the edges.
9. Place in oven and bake 15-20 minutes or until dough feels set and dry to the touch.






When the pizza came out of the oven I spread peanut butter all over it. Then we added for our toppings crushed peanuts, smarties, and crushed butter fingers!!

Oh man it was good and the topping possibilities endless. What kind of toppings would you use???
