Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 package (16.5 ounces / 467 grams) refrigerated sugar cookie dough
- 1 tub (16 ounces / 454 grams) white vanilla icing
Candy Toppings:
- 0.75 cup (180 milliliters) red and green M&M’s chocolate candies
- 0.25 cup (60 milliliters) crushed starlight peppermints
Decorative Sprinkles:
- 2 tablespoons holiday-colored sprinkles
- Whole starlight peppermints (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven according to the sugar cookie dough package instructions and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
- Gently unroll the sugar cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, carefully stretching and shaping it into a circular pizza-like form approximately 12 inches wide, maintaining consistent thickness for even baking.
- Transfer the shaped dough to the preheated oven and bake until the edges turn a golden hue and the center appears fully set, typically requiring 10-15 minutes of cooking time.
- Remove the baked cookie base from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack, ensuring the surface reaches room temperature before decorating.
- Once cooled, apply a smooth, even layer of white vanilla icing across the entire cookie surface, creating a pristine canvas for decoration.
- Artfully distribute M&M’s chocolates, holiday-themed sprinkles, and crushed peppermints over the icing, creating a vibrant and festive pattern.
- Strategically place whole peppermints as elegant garnishes to enhance the visual appeal of the holiday dessert.
