Pepperoni Pizza "Cookies"

Ok, so by definition, these Pepperoni Pizza "Cookies" are not really cookies. But don't tell my kids that - they are pretty sure that they ate cookies for dinner the other night. And for lunch the other day. Oh, they think I am pretty freakin' cool. They might be a little right... ;)

I made some big cookies, pictured above, and some smaller ones, pictured below. The kids liked them both the same - I liked the bigger ones since they reminded me of good ol' regular sized cookies, but they both tasted the same.

Total random fact about me - I hate people watching me eat or checking out the food that I am eating. It's odd, it's comical and it's just a part of who I am. However, I will tuck that little pet peeve away for a second so I can show you how the inside of the "cookies" turn out. Beautiful!

All you need for this little creation is 4 simple ingredients. Pizza sauce, pepperoni, cheese and refrigerated crescent rolls. 

Roll out the crescent dough. Put 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce on each rectangle, some cheese and pepperoni. Just not too much because you will be rolling these bad boys up!

I did 3 rolls - 1 had two rectangles rolled up together. The other 2 were single rectangle rolls. After they are rolled put them in the freezer for about 20 minutes.

I used a smaller bread knife to cut the rolls into 1" slices. I used a cookie sheet for the larger "cookies" and a baking sheet covered in foil, sprayed with non-stick spray, for the smaller ones. Both worked great. I then baked them for about 30 minutes at 350.

I was like a giddy little kid when these came out - I love cooking moments like these!

And just like that - your kids think you are awesomesauce! Hope your kiddos enjoy them as much as mine did. :)
