When I heard my three little nieces would be attending Vacation Bible School (VBS) at Wood River Baptist Church I offered to make cookies for one of the weekday snacks. My sister came back one day and asked if I would make the last day snack and it was to be a "special" snack. I asked the head count she said 100...WOW...sounded like a lot but I had to be glad that many kids were going to VBS. Later the count was reduced...but still up there...now I had to figure out what to make.
I decided on dessert pizzas...basically one huge cookie covered with "toppings" and cut into wedges like a savory pizza. I decided on a S'more pizza and a Fruit pizza. Both as easy as "pie"!!!!!
The s'more pizza had a chocolate chip cookie base topped with chocolate chips, broken pieces of graham crackers and mini marshmallows. The fruit pizza has a sugar cookie base then covered with a sweetened cream cheese layer topped with pieces of fruit. I "cheated" and used prepared cookie dough which made making ten (10) pizzas a much easier task. In the future I will use a homemade cookie base just to see what the differences are.
I heard both styles of pizzas got rave reviews and many requests for both recipes....a sure sign these were a hit!

| The finished product...absolutely gorgeous! I made four of these. |

| A close up...colorful and tasty...and for those of you who want to live in a delusional world...healthy too! Just 'cuz it is covered in fruit doesn't make it healthy but who's counting calories on the last day of VBS. |
So there you have it...fun to make, pretty to look at, very tasty and kid approved.
