If you want to do something different for your child’s party this year, consider a cookie decoration party. Instead of doing the treats yourself, before everyone gets there, you can have the kids do most of the work!

Start with a cookie dough base. Oatmeal cookie dough makes a great cookie pizza. Roll the dough and make it into a pizza shape on a 12” pizza pan. If you don’t have a pizza pan, you can substitute with a cookie sheet or brownie pan.

Chocolate chips and coconut can be baked into the cookie pizza. Follow the instructions for the cookie recipe you selected. Once it is finished baking, let it cool before the guests arrive.

Before the party, you’ll need to buy some M&M’s, frosting (or make your own), food coloring (to mix the frosting in small bowls of different colors), candy corn, sprinkles, and/or other little treats to decorate the cookie pizza slices.

Slice the cookie pizza into individual slices and give them to each of the children to decorate. You may end up needing more than one cookie pizza, depending upon how many children you invite. Then, just sit back and supervise while they have a blast decorating their own slice of cookie pizza.
