How to Make Peppermint Cookie Pizza – Step by Step
Step 1: Preheat oven
Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit and spray a 12-inch pizza pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 2: Bake
Spread the cookie dough onto the prepared pan, leaving about half an inch around the edge. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until the dough turns golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before frosting.
Step 3: Make the frosting
Stir the peppermint extract into the frosting, then spread the frosting evenly on the top of the cookie pizza.
Step 4: Decorate and serve
Sprinkle the crushed candy canes on the outer edge. Arrange the mini candy canes and soft peppermints on top of the crushed candy canes. Slice and serve.
Tips and Notes for Peppermint Cookie Pizza
My cookie crust fell as soon as I took it out of the oven. Is that normal?
Yes, this premade cookie dough becomes very puffy when it bakes, but it will deflate slightly as soon as it comes out of the oven.
Can this be made ahead of time?
Yes, this can be made ahead of time, just leave off the peppermint toppings until right before you serve it. You can keep the frosted cookie pizza on the counter for up to three days in an airtight container.
How to store
Store your peppermint cookie pizza in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
