If your little one is asking to make Team Umizoomi Ice Cream Pizza and you need a little help, I am here to rescue you.
Okay, if your kid is like mine it is a little more complicated than that. Especially finding the red and yellow striped candies! I finally found these peach flavored ones that are actually orangy and have holes. The ones in the show are complete circles. Surprisingly, J was okay with it. But when my friend showed her son the picture he informed her the candies were wrong. And then he asked her to make it. Sorry, Tola.
I made a quick batch of the sugar cookie dough below and divided into thirds. I put a third of the recipe into an aluminum foil lined 8" cake pan for the Ice Cream Pizza. The remaining two-thirds we used to make special cookies for some special people. I am specifically not saying who because at least one of them reads this blog and for now it is a secret.
Sugar Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup salted butter
- 1 ½ cup powdered sugar
- 4 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, cream butter. Add sugar, scraping bowl as needed, until smooth. Add vanilla and mix until creamy. Add flour. Gather dough into two balls, flatten into a disk and put in a plastic bag. Let rest in the refrigerator for 1 hour or until firm.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Roll out dough on a floured board and cut into desired shapes. Place on cookie sheet about ½ inch apart and bake about 15 minutes until just starting to turn brown.
- Let cool completely and decorate with icing as desired.

Until next time, PATTERN POWER! oops! I mean... happy eating.

This looks great, my children used to love Umizoomi! I will have to try some recipes on your blog, thank you for stopping by and commenting on mine 🙂

I love my Mrs. Field's cookie book, and her baking one. I can picture kids having such a blast making the first recipe their own with their candy choice. I have a bunch of nieces and nephews (10 of them) and they all like their cookies different. So fun!

I'm just letting you know, the ice cream pizza cookie is an oatmeal cookie, not sugar. Also, it's made with a small cookie, not large for ice cream pizza. It just looks large because Team Umizoomi is so small. Also, why are you making it with icing and not ice cream? It's not ice cream pizza if this is your recipe for the cookies. So, sorry but you got it wrong again.

Thanks for taking the time to comment and inform other readers how it should be done to be more like the show. It's been a decade since I've seen it so I will defer to you.
