Alien Pizza Squares
When kids are having a playdate, there often isn't time to whip up a batch of cookies or other type of treat. Since most kids like pizza in some form, this recipe is always a big hit.
The possibilities for themes are endless, since you can use any cookie cutter shape to personalize this pizza and create any design you choose. Hearts for
To make the alien faces, I use a pumpkin cookie cutter, with capers for the eyes and basil for the mouth. My boys and their friends love it, and they always feel special when I make this very simple after-school snack. Make your kids smile today by making them this simple treat.
Alien Pizza Squares
Serves 4.
Cooking Spray
1 lb refrigerated pizza dough
3/4 cup pizza sauce or tomato sauce
8 slices low-moisture mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon capers
Fresh or freeze-dried basil
Preheat oven to 475 F. Spray rimmed baking pan with cooking spray. Press and stretch dough evenly into a rectangle shape. Spread sauce evenly over dough, leaving a 1-inch border around all sides. Bake until underside of dough is golden, about 10-15 minutes.
While pizza is baking, use a pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter (or any cutter you choose) to cut pumpkin shapes from cheese. Save cheese scraps for a sandwich.
Place pumpkins on top of hot pizza and bake for 2-5 minutes or just until slightly melted. Place two capers on each piece of cheese for eyes and sprinkle basil for the mouth.
Let stand 5 minutes before slicing.
