Beachwood Camp- Week 2

Published July 23, 2012

“Pizza” cookie

Well we started off great in the second Beachwood cooking camp. Older kids this week, well for the most part and I have a volunteer this week. He has them cleaning up right away and as a result we got so much done today. We made pizzas- large and small, giant pizza-shaped cookies, 2 types of cake, 5 batches of cookie dough to bake tomorrow, strawberry soda and Snickerdoodles . If that is just day 1 it is going to be a VERY productive week. Here are some of the things we did today.

Here is the recipe for the cookie.

Peanut Butter Pizza

½ c. butter

½ c. peanut butter

½ c. packed brown sugar

1/3 c. granulated sugar

1 egg

1 t. vanilla

1 c. flour

1 c. chocolate chips

Toppings can include mini marshmallows, peanuts, M&M’s

or whatever you like

Beat together butter, peanut butter and sugars until smooth. Beat in egg and vanilla. Stir in flour and press into ungreased 12-13-inch pizza pan. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 15-18 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with chocolate chips. Let stand for 1 or 2 minutes than spread over crust with a spatula. Top with remaining ingredients. Cool and cut. Makes 12 servings.
