Strawberry Cheesecake Pizza
This is like a homemade cheesecake on a large sugar cookie! This is so good. Made it last night and just had to share the recipe. I'm pretty sure I got this out of a Taste Of Home cookbook. I did add a little jelly to the cream cheese mixture because I don't really like cream cheese and it was so good that way. The time does not include cooling.
