• 2 rolls sugar cookie dough
• strawberry jam
• 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons milk
• black licorice sticks
• green and red fruit leather

Go

1. Press sugar cookie dough into a large pizza pan with an elevated rim.
2. Bake for 20 minutes at temperature listed on package. Let cool for 30 minutes.
3. Spread strawberry jam onto cookie “crust,” leaving outer 1/2 inch untouched.
4. Melt white chocolate chips in the microwave. Add milk to thin, and stir until creamy. To create the look of grated cheese, use a metal colander. Squeeze the mixture through, using the back of a large spoon.
5. To make fake pepperoni, cut out small circles of red fruit leather. Add strips of green fruit leather for green peppers.
6. Top pizza with thin slices of black licorice for black olives.
7. Complete the illusion by serving your creation in a pizza box!
