Christinas Cookie Pizza Recipes

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Lightly grease your pizza pan.
• Whisk the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and both sugars together on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the egg and beat on high until combined, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Add the vanilla extract, then mix on high until combined.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low until combined. With the mixer running on low speed, add the chocolate chips. Dough will be thick and soft.
• Transfer the cookie dough to the pizza pan and flatten out with your fingers or a rubber spatula until the edges reach the sides (or just about to the sides).
• Bake for 22-25 minutes or until puffed and lightly browned on top. If you want the cookie pizza a little crispier on the edges, bake for a couple extra minutes. Allow the cookie pizza to cool on the pan set on a wire rack before slicing. Cover leftovers and store at room temperature for 2-3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

CHOCOLATE COOKIE PIZZA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350° F. In large bowl, mix 1/2 cup butter, the brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla and egg until well blended. Stir in flour and baking soda (dough will be stiff).
• Pat dough in ungreased 12-inch pizza pan or into 12-inch round on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool about 30 minutes.
• In 2-quart saucepan, heat chocolate chips, 2 tablespoons butter and milk over low heat, stirring occasionally, just until chocolate is melted; remove from heat. Stir in powdered sugar. Beat with wire whisk until smooth, glossy and spreadable. (If not glossy, stir in a few drops hot water).
• Spread chocolate mixture over baked layer. Immediately sprinkle with pecans, candies and coconut; press lightly. Drizzle with melted baking bars. Let stand until set. Remove from pan if desired. Cut into wedges.

SNICKERDOODLE COOKIE PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 14-inch round baking pan with parchment and spray with cooking spray.
• For the pizza: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt and cream of tartar. Set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the butter and 1 cup sugar. Beat on high speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the egg yolks and vanilla and beat until combined. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour and mix until just combined.
• Transfer the dough to the prepared baking pan and spread into the pan, leaving a 1-inch gap around the edge (to allow for spreading). In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon and the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Sprinkle over the dough. Bake until the cookie is brown at the edges, 12 to 18 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, make the raspberry drizzle: Combine the raspberries, vodka, thyme and pinch of salt in a blender or food processor and pulse until smooth. Strain and store in the refrigerator until needed.
• Before serving, spread the cookie with chocolate ganache, leaving about 1-inch border. Scatter the brownie pieces, berries and chocolate chips on top of the pizza. Spoon about 1/4 cup raspberry drizzle over the top (reserving remaining drizzle for another use). Sprinkle with sea salt. Serve immediately.

CHRISTMAS COOKIE CUTTER PIZZA APPETIZERS (EASY!)

Steps:

• 1. Roll out your dough, as for pizza, on a lightly floured surface. Cut into desired Christmas cookie cutter shapes. If serving as appetizers, don't make them too large. If you want to make these for a cute lunch, larger is fine.
• 2. Transfer to prepared cookie sheet. Add sauce, then cheese, then toppings, as for pizza.
• 3. Bake at 350 degrees until crust is golden and cheese has melted and is bubbly. Make enough... they will go very quickly!
