This Halloween Cookie Pizza is an easy recipe for the spooky October season! This pizza has a sugar cookie crust and is topped with a pumpkin spice frosting. Then I decorated it with an easy spiderweb – anyone can make this cake and everyone will love it.
Sugar Cookie Pizza for Halloween
One of my favorite things to do is turn savory items sweet and this pizza recipe is no exception. The sugar cookie crust is delicious and that mixed with the frosting on top is even better. You really can’t go wrong with this recipe.
This cookie pizza is so simple. I used food coloring to accomplish the bright coloring on this recipe. This pizza could be a hit at any Halloween party–have everyone there make their own! You do not want to miss out on this one!
Ingredients Needed
- Sugar Cookie Dough: The delicious crust! I used a semi-homemade option (a roll from the grocery store) but you can also make my homemade sugar cookie dough.
- Vanilla Frosting: Use a can of frosting or my vanilla buttercream recipe.
- Pumpkin Pie Spice: Will be mixed into the frosting to make the best pumpkin spice frosting!
How the make Halloween Sugar Cookie Pizza
- Spray a round pizza pan with cooking spray press your cookie dough evenly in the bottom of your pan.
- Bake for 14-16 minutes (for the pizza pan size). Cool completely before frosting.
- Stir pumpkin spice and orange gel food coloring into the can of frosting.
- Spread pumpkin spice frosting over the top of your cooled cookie. Using black decorator icing, pipe circles around your cookie pizza, about ½” apart until you’ve gotten to the center. To create your spiderweb, use a toothpick and starting at the center ring, pull the toothpick through the frosting to the outer edge. Repeat at desired intervals around the cookie.
Recipe Swap
- You can use 1 pouch sugar cookie dough (prepared according to package directions), or make homemade sugar cookie dough!
- Make homemade frostings, like cream cheese frosting, vanilla buttercream or pumpkin spice frosting!
Expert Tips
- If you do not have decorator icing take ¼ of your frosting and dye it black. Use that to decorate the spider web.
- I added some fun candy eyeballs around the cake for fun.
- Make another halloween decoration like a Jack O’ Lantern, or make this for another holiday and dye the frosting a different color!
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month.

Thanks Tracey!!
My first thought was there is no way I could make such a perfect spider web – it seemed really hard, but I’m so glad you showed us a video. That is not how I was imagining it was done. Love this idea.
Thanks Jenn! I know, it’s one of those things that seems hard, and isn’t easy to write out, but is easy to show!
This is so cute. I love it. I am definitely ready for 2013 to be over. The year of the snake has brought us plenty of trials. Luckily, things are starting to turn around. I’m ready for 2014 and the hopes of amazing opportunities ahead.
It’s going to be here before we know it!! 🙂
Are you kidding? Your voice sounds great on video! But I can’t stand mine either, so I understand. But I loved watching it mostly because now whenever I read your posts, I’ll be able to “hear” you saying it. I love it when I can hear people’s voice in their letters, posts, emails, texts, etc. Is this too awkward? Yes, yes it is, sorry! 🙂
Anyways, this is a stinking adorable dessert pizza that looks impressive! Haha, thank you for giving me an excuse to get the Pillsbury dough, I love that stuff plain!
LOL! I know what you mean! It’s like listening to the radio and having no idea what they look like. 🙂
This adorable! I’m going to make a couple of them to take to work for our Halloween food day. I also had an idea for a variation for the folks that don’t like pumpkin. (but who doesn’t like pumpkin? lol) I’ll make one this way and a second with chocolate chip cookie dough, chocolate frosting, and white chocolate chips in the ganache. I think that will work… I guess I’ll find out. Thanks for the great recipe!~
Any variation should work! Different flavors would be awesome!
