Merry Pizza “Cookies”

Sprinkle a little magic into snacktime with these guaranteed kid-pleasers.

Supplies:

• Frozen pizza crust or refrigerated pizza dough
• Olive oil or garlic butter
• Italian seasoning
• Large cookie cutters
• Parchment-lined baking sheet
• Jarred sauce (white and/or red)
• Toppings (cheese, chopped veggies, olives, pepperoni, herbs)

How-To:

1. Thaw frozen crusts or roll out the dough to desired thickness (New York, Chicago, Detroit style…you pick!). Feeling extra fancy? Brush dough with a little olive oil or garlic butter, then sprinkle with italian seasoning.
2. Use cookie cutters to stamp out shapes. Place pizza “cookies” on prepared baking sheet.
3. Top with the classics: your favorite white or red sauce, cheese, bell peppers, olives, pepperoni, you name it. Bake according to package directions, then top with some fresh garnishes like grated parmesan or chopped basil.
