- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark chocolate)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-inch pizza pan.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually Add Dry Ingredients to Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in Chocolate Chips: Stir in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Press Dough into Pan: Press the cookie dough evenly into the prepared pizza pan.
- Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
- Cool: Let the cookie pizza cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Variations: Try adding other mix-ins like chopped nuts, sprinkles, or different types of chocolate chips. You can also drizzle melted chocolate or caramel sauce over the cooled cookie pizza.
Tips: Use a pizza cutter to easily slice the cookie pizza into even slices. For a gooier center, slightly underbake the cookie. For a crispier cookie, bake it for a few extra minutes.
Allergies/Intolerances: This recipe contains wheat, dairy, and eggs. For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. For a dairy-free version, use a vegan butter substitute and dairy-free chocolate chips. Check ingredients to ensure they are produced in a nut-free facility.
Taste Adjustments: Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference. For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
