Deep Dish Cookie Pizza
Our Family's Favorite Dessert Recipe
This deep dish cookie pizza recipe is an easy dessert my mother found on a Cool-Whip recipe card years ago, I believe. It is high on our list of family favorites. We have since modified it some but the basic ingredients remain similar to that original sweet treat. I like it because it has fruit on it and to me that almost makes it healthy.
I say almost because the base crust of this wonderful fruit tart is a layer of sugar cookie dough.
It is colorful and an easy to make recipe that would go great in any warm weather get together. A combination of kiwi, strawberry, and bananas are the fruits topping this particular version, but you can use any blend of fruits you have on hand.
It is sure to be a hit and the best part?
It is even better the second day - If you have any leftovers!
I absolutely love deep dish cookie pizza the next day for breakfast!
Sugar cookies are always a fun treat but when you use the dough as a pie crust the fun is just getting started!
