These pizza slice sugar cookies are a simple and delicious sweet treat. They can make a great baking project to enjoy with your kids.
Being a nice and whimsical twist on old plain sugar cookies, I am sure they will bring a lot of fun into your kitchen and on your table.
Here’s how to make them…
To cut out the dough you will need an 8-inch (20 cm) round cutter (or a bowl) and a 6-inch (15 cm) cutter or bowl. You will also need a wooden skewer and a knife.
1. In the bowl of your electric mixer, mix butter and sugar until fluffy.
2, Add the flour, a few tablespoons at a time.
3. Add the vanilla extract and salt.
4. Using your hands, form a ball.
5. Place the dough ball in a medium bowl (or on a plate), cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 1 hour.
6. Preheat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
7. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and roll it out to about 0.2-inch (0.5 cm) thickness.
8. Use an 8-inch (20 cm) round cutter or a bowl to cut out a round shape.
Just like this.
9. Place a 6-inch (15 cm) cutter or a bowl over the cut out round and lightly press it into the dough just to trace its edges.
Just like this.
10. Using a wooden skewer, make dots in the center of the inner round.
11. Using a knife, make dents around the larger round’s edge.
12. Using a pizza cutter or a knife, cut the whole round into 6 triangles.
13. Carefully, transfer the triangles onto the lined baking sheet.

14. Sprinkle each triangle with caster sugar (optional).
15. Bake at 350 °F (175 °C) for about 15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
Enjoy!
With lots of love,
