Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (or your choice of mix-ins)
- Assorted toppings: mini marshmallows, M&Ms, sprinkles, chopped nuts, fruit, or any toppings you like
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-inch pizza pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Make the cookie dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Add dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until fully combined. Stir in the chocolate chips or other mix-ins of your choice.
- Spread the dough: Press the cookie dough evenly onto the prepared pizza pan, spreading it out to form a large, pizza-like circle. Make sure the dough is spread evenly to ensure even baking.
- Bake: Bake the cookie pizza for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set but still soft. Be careful not to overbake—this should be a soft, chewy cookie.
- Add the toppings: Remove the cookie pizza from the oven and immediately sprinkle with your choice of toppings, such as mini marshmallows, M&Ms, sprinkles, or chopped nuts. Press them gently into the warm cookie so they stick.
- Cool and serve: Let the cookie pizza cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing it like a regular pizza. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
This Cookie Pizza is a delightful treat that’s easy to customize and sure to be a hit with kids and adults alike!
