Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cookie pizza.
- Prepare the pan: Grease a large pizza pan thoroughly or line it with parchment paper to ensure the cookie doesn’t stick during baking.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking soda. Set this mixture aside for later use.
- Cream butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar and packed brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add egg and vanilla: Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract into the butter-sugar mixture, beating until fully combined and the batter is smooth.
- Mix in dry ingredients: Gradually add the flour and baking soda mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring continuously until the dough is fully incorporated.
- Fold in chocolate chips: Gently fold the 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips into the dough, distributing them evenly throughout.
- Form the cookie pizza: Press the cookie dough evenly into a circular shape on the prepared pizza pan, smoothing out the surface for an even bake.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the edges of the cookie pizza turn golden brown while the center remains soft.
- Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and allow the cookie pizza to cool for 10 minutes. Once slightly cooled, slice into pizza-like pieces and serve.
Notes
- For softer cookies, bake closer to 15 minutes; for a crispier edge, bake up to 20 minutes.
- Allow the cookie pizza to cool slightly before slicing to prevent crumbling.
- You can substitute semisweet chocolate chips with milk or dark chocolate chips depending on preference.
- Chilling the dough before pressing into the pan can help control spreading, but it’s optional.
- Use parchment paper for easier cleanup and to avoid sticking.
