Help!?
What can I use if I don't have parchment paper or a round baking sheet?
Use a rimmed baking sheet or a round cake pan lined with lightly greased aluminum foil so you can press the cookie dough onto it without sticking.
My cookie pizza browned on the edges but the center was raw—what should I do?
Lower the oven to 325°F, press the cookie dough evenly to about 1/2 inch thick, and bake longer while checking it after 18 minutes and rotating the pan so the center cooks through.
How can I adapt this activity for different ages?
Have younger kids press the cookie dough and arrange the measured fruit and candy while an adult preheats the oven and handles baking, and let older kids measure the 1 cup frosting, spread it with the spatula, and bake with supervision.
How can we make the cookie pizza more creative or special?
Personalize the cookie pizza by tinting the measured frosting, adding sprinkles or a melted chocolate drizzle, or arranging the 1/2 cup fruit and 1/2 cup candy into a picture or theme before sharing on DIY.org.
