American Baker in Germany

 I decided to make a cookie cake that looks like pepperoni pizza. This must start out with a sugar cookie cutout recipe. Sugar Cookie Cutout: 1 cup (250g) butter 1 cup (200g) sugar 1 egg 1 tsp vanilla extract or 1 tbsp vanilla sugar pinch salt 1/4 tsp baking soda 3 cups (375g) flour Cream butter. Cream in sugar, egg and vanilla. Add dry ingredients. Beat until dough resembles coarse crumbs. Knead briefly until dough comes together. Roll out into a large circle and press into shape. Bake at 325°F or 160°C for about 15 minutes. Then I made a batch of American buttercream, leaving some white and coloring some with red and brown food coloring to make a sauce color. I frosted a thin layer of red onto the baked cookie. Then I piped some white buttercream and smoothed it. Then I piped on some red circles onto the white and smoothed them. I think this looks very much like a pepperoni pizza. It would be perfect for those who love cookies more than cake. And who love pizza more than anything...
