Ham and Ranch Pizza Pinwheel Cookies

 Ham and Ranch Pizza Pinwheel Cookies

     One way to get kids to eat something is to call it a cookie! Another way is to involve them in making dinner. Even if it is just a simple thing like sprinkling cheese, kids can feel important and proud of their contribution.Take an extra minute during your meal prep and get those kiddos involved!

First, gather your ingredients and materials (depending on your child's attention span, you might want to get everything out before calling them to come help).

  • Pizza crust - I used one from the refrigerated dough section                                                                 (I may have picked up some cinnamon rolls there too hehe).
  • Ranch
  • Ham slices
  • Shredded cheese

Step 1: Flatten out your pizza crust in a rectangle.

Step 2: Spread ranch over the entire dough.


Step 3: Lay the ham slices over the ranch - overlapping as needed.


Step 4: Sprinkle the cheese over the ham.


Step 5: Starting at one end, begin rolling the dough. The tighter you can get it, the better later!


Step 6: Once all rolled up, grab a sharp knife and cut in about two in cuts. Lay each piece on your pan - this part gets messy, using a spatula to transport could be useful.


Step 7: Cook according to pizza crust directions and enjoy!



Be sure to play up the word "cookie" 
especially if you have a picky eater!





So, how do you get your  children involved 
in the kitchen?
