Ingredients
Pillsbury refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough
1 (19 ounce) roll (No preparation needed.)
Creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup (None.)
Orange and black M&M's plain chocolate candy
1 cup (None.)
Dry roasted peanuts
1/2 cup (None.)
Vanilla frosting
1/4 cup (Microwave until drizzlable.)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-inch pizza pan with aluminum foil. Lightly grease the foil with shortening to prevent sticking.
2
Break the Pillsbury refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough into 2-inch pieces and arrange them evenly across the pan, ensuring a uniform crust.
3
Using floured fingers, gently press the cookie dough together to form a crust that covers the bottom of the pan evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 16 to 18 minutes or until the crust is a deep golden brown.
4
Once baked, remove the pizza crust from the oven and allow it to cool for about 30 minutes. Use the edges of the foil to carefully lift the pizza crust out of the pan, then gently peel away the foil and place the crust onto a serving platter or tray.
5
Spread the creamy peanut butter evenly over the cooled cookie crust, ensuring full coverage for maximum flavor.
6
Generously sprinkle the top with orange and black M&M's and dry roasted peanuts, distributing them evenly for a colorful and crunchy topping.
7
In a small microwavable bowl, heat the vanilla frosting uncovered for about 10-15 seconds in the microwave, or until it reaches a drizzlable consistency.
8
Transfer the warm frosting to a small resealable food storage bag, and cut a tiny hole in one corner of the bag. Drizzle the melted frosting over the decorated cookie pizza in a fun, zigzag pattern.
9
Cut the cookie pizza into wedges or squares and serve immediately. Enjoy this fun and festive Halloween treat!
