Estimated time:
20 minutes, plus cooling time, and brief decorating time

Number of servings:
8-12

Ingredients: (Hit your return key to start a new line)
One 18 oz. pkg. refrigerated Sugar Cookie dough

1 1/2 c. frozen whipped topping, thawed

one 6 oz. container (2/3 c.) vanilla yogurt

3 c. assorted fresh fruit, cleaned and cut into slices/halves/pieces

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Lightly grease a 14 inch pizza pan, or a 'jelly roll pan' (15"x10"x1").

Spread/press the dough evenly into the pan. (If it seems sticky, use floured fingers)
Bake 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely!!

In a small bowl, combine the whipped topping and the yogurt; spread over the crust. Top with assorted fruit (randomly, or in a pleasing pattern).

Other suggestions and comments:
Remember to grease the pan; you would still be able to 'pop' the slices loose, but you'd have to work at it just a bit if ya forget (trust me: been there, done that ;-)

This is a lovely item to make for a party or gathering, pleasing to 'kids' of all ages. Have plenty of napkins on hand ;-)

If you choose to make Cookie Pizza for a small family, consider pre-cutting the slices, then decorating each slice Individually. This gives every child/person something to do, with the added benefit that you won't have Leftover Cookie Pizza going Soft and gooey in the fridge. (Wrap leftover cookies, and refrigerate topping(s) and Fruit, to enjoy later.)

This is a somewhat Holiday Adaptive recipe, because you can choose fruits for their color, and create interesting 'works of art' for holidays. Example: a Strawberry Starburst radiating from a round pan (w/blueberries around it), for the 4th of July; Goofy or 'scary' faces for Halloween...Kiwi and green grapes for St. Patrick's Day...it's an 'art medium' that invites alllll sorts of creativity! It is colorful, as the various fruits glisten like jewels.
