Ingredients:
Crust
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
Chocolate Pizza Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons cocoa powder, sifted
  • 4 tablespoons milk
  • 4 tablespoons butter, softened

  • Pinch Salt
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray the pizza pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Stir the egg, brown sugar, granulated sugar, butter and vanilla together until mixed.
  3. Add the flour and baking soda to the mixture. Spread or pat the dough into the greased pizza pan, using the back of a spoon or a piece of waxed paper pressed with your hand.
  4. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Allow to cool.
  5. While crust cools, make chocolate sauce. In large bowl, cream confectioners’ sugar and cocoa.
  6. Add the milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat until smooth. Spread on cooled pizza crust.
  7. Top with your favorite treats like sprinkles, colored sugar, mini chocolate chips, gummy worms, silver balls, mini-marshmallows or M&Ms.
Note: To cut preparation time in half, use 1 tube of refrigerated sugar cookie dough. Pat into greased pizza pan and bake for 10-12 minutes.
