Kids love pizza and adore dessert, so it's a no-brainer that the combination will be a big hit. This easy sweet, found in the new "California Pizza Kitchen Family Cookbook," by Larry Flax and Rick Rosenfield (Wiley, $19.95), is the perfect party treat for young collaborators to prepare. Set out the toppings and let their creativity flow.
Ingredients:
Crust: 1 pound sugar cookie dough, room temperature
Choose from toppings such as:
1 cup whipped cream
1/2 to 1 cup chocolate, caramel or strawberry sauce
1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup of jelly beans or gummy bears
1 cup M&M's or Reese's Pieces
1 cup sliced strawberries
1 cup crushed cookies
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a removable-bottom tart pan with cooking spray or butter.
Press dough evenly into the bottom of the assembled pan. Bake the crust for 15 to 20 minutes or until it is light brown and just becoming firm.
Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Then carefully remove the tart ring.
Carefully loosen the crust from the pan bottom and transfer to a serving platter.
Cut the crust, which will still be warm and somewhat soft, into 12 slices. While still warm, decorate slices with your chosen toppings. Serve 12.

Family cookbook are a great idea, although I never knew California Pizza Kitchen was a family! I created a wonderful family cookbook using www.familycookbookproject.com and I could not be happier with how easy it was to get everyone in my family to contribute recipes and then have our family cookbook printed. Not only do we have a printed cookbook, but are recipes are online so it is easy to email them to friends that don't have the cookbook available to them.A family cookbook is something everyone can enjoy for many, many years!
