Supreme "Pizza" Cookies
Supreme “Pizza”Cookies
1 18.25-ounce package Pillsbury White Cake Mix
3/4 cup (1 & 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 12-ounce jar Smucker’s Seedless Red Raspberry Jam
1 6-ounce package white baking chocolate
Assorted “toppings”: e.g., miniature jelly beans, chocolate and multicolored sprinkles, cinnamon red-hots, bright color candy-covered milk chocolates, toffee baking bits, or colored sugars
Make cookies:
In a large mixing bowl, mix the cake mix, butter, egg and vanilla with an electric mixer set on low speed for 1 minute (dough will be thick). Scrape the dough off of the beaters and finish stirring with wooden spoon to combine. Wrap bowl in plastic wrap. Chill, covered, at least 4 hours or up to overnight.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Position rack in center of oven. Roll one quarter of the dough at a time on lightly floured surface to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out 3-inch circles with round cookie cutter or biscuit cutter. Transfer to ungreased cookie sheets with spatula. Re-roll any scraps. Repeat with remaining dough quarters.
Bake 9-11 minutes or until center is puffed and sinks back. Let cookies rest on sheets for a minute. Transfer with spatula to wire racks; cool completely.
To decorate “pizzas”:
Spread each cooled cookie round with a thin layer of raspberry jam for pizza “sauce”. Sprinkle with grated white chocolate for the “cheese”. Finish decorating with toppings of choice. Makes 30-40 cookies.
