Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 tube refrigerated sugar cookie dough
- 10 Hershey’s Kisses
Frosting and Topping Ingredients:
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Decorative Ingredients:
- Purple string licorice

Instructions
- Warm your oven to 350°F and prepare a nonstick pizza pan or lightly grease a standard pan.
- Take the entire tube of sugar cookie dough and press it into a flat, even circle that completely covers the pan’s surface.
- Slide the pan into the preheated 350°F oven and bake for 12-14 minutes until the cookie’s edges turn golden brown.
- Remove the cookie and let it cool completely for 20 minutes on a wire rack.
- In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons softened butter, 2 tablespoons milk, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Whisk the mixture until smooth, adding tiny amounts of milk or sugar to achieve a spreadable consistency.
- Gently spread the entire frosting layer across the cooled cookie base using a spatula.
- Unwrap 10 Hershey’s Kisses and place them decoratively across the frosted surface.
- Sprinkle your chosen candies, colored sprinkles, or decorative elements over the frosted cookie.
- Cut the cookie pizza into triangular slices like a traditional pizza and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use store-bought sugar cookie dough for a quick shortcut or make homemade dough for extra flavor.
- Ensure the cookie base is completely cool before frosting to prevent melting and sliding.
- Get creative with decorations by matching themes to holidays or personal preferences.
- For gluten-free options, swap regular cookie dough with a gluten-free sugar cookie mix.
