Special Precautions and Tips:
- Be sure to roll out the cookie dough evenly so that it bakes evenly.
- Let the cookie crust cool completely before spreading on the cream cheese mixture. Otherwise, the cream cheese will melt.
- If you're using berries, be sure to pat them dry before adding them to the pizza. This will help to prevent them from making the pizza soggy.
