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.

Looks good but pumpkin frosting is way too runny! I had to add so much powdered sugar—and cornstarch and cream cheese—to stabilize it that I ended up with enough supersweet frosting for at least 6 of these! Recipe a lso makes way too much ganache. I suggest 2 Tbsps chips + 1 Tbsp cream instead.
You sound absolutely normal in your video Dorothy, I don’t know what you’re talking about!! Compared to real life, the only thing that’s missing is your big gorgeous smile! 🙂 I didn’t realize how easy it was to create that spider web effect. Even though Halloween is only 2 days away (AHH where’d the time go??), I really want to try!
P.S. The webs and spider on your top photo are super cute! Is that from your photo editing software?
LOL, you’re so sweet! The overlays are from Picmonkey!
Oooh thanks!! I’ll have to check that out!
Perfect recipe for a spider web!
Thanks Brenda!
This is SO fun, Dorothy! I love it!!
