Chocolate Thin Mint Pizza Supreme
Ingredients
- 1 18-ounce package refrigerated chocolate chunk cookie dough
- 1/2 package (19 cookies) Girl Scout Thin Mints
- 1/2 cup white chocolate morsels
- vanilla ice cream (optional)
Press the cookie dough evenly in the bottom of an ungreased 12-inch pizza pan or a 13x9x2-inch baking pan. (The dough will barely cover the pan.) Break the Thin Mints into halves or thirds and press the cookie pieces into the dough, covering evenly. Bake the pizza in a 350 degree oven for 12 to 18 minutes, or until golden brown.
Place the white chocolate morsels in a small plastic storage bag and seal. Microwave the bag of morsels on medium-high (70% power) for 40 to 50 seconds, or until melted. Snip 1/8-inch off one bottom corner of the bag. Hold the bag tightly at the top and drizzle the melted white chocolate in stripes over the top of the pizza. When cool, cut the pizza into 8 or 10 wedges. If desired, top each serving with a scoop of ice cream. Serves 8 to 10.

Microwave Journeycake
Ingredients
- 1 2/3 cups finely crushed Shortbread Cookies
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/3 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mashed ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/3 cup butter or margarine, melted
- 2 eggs, slightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
In large bowl, combine the crushed cookies, flour, 3/4 cup of sugar, baking powder and salt. In a medium bowl, combine the mashed bananas, milk, melted butter and eggs. Using a large spoon, stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until blended. Spoon the mixture into a greased 9 x 5 x 3-inch microwave-safe loaf pan. In a small container, combine 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture over the batter.
Microwave the cake at 50% power for 11 minutes, rotating the loaf pan one-quarter turn every 3 to 4 minutes. Rotate the pan one-quarter turn and microwave on high (100%) for 5 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. (If using a microwave with a turntable it is not necessary to rotate the pan.) Let the cake stand for 5 minutes before removing it from the pan. Serves 8.
