Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Base:
- 1 (18 ounces / 510 grams) roll refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough
Peanut Butter and Chocolate Toppings:
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels
- 1/2 cup bite-size chocolate peanut butter cups
- 1/4 cup miniature candy-coated chocolate pieces
Garnish:
- 1/4 cup salted peanuts, chopped
- Chocolate sauce for drizzling (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a 12″ pizza pan with a light coating of grease to prevent sticking.
- Take the cookie dough and gently press it across the entire surface of the pan, ensuring complete and even coverage from edge to edge.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 22-28 minutes until the cookie base transforms into a delicate golden hue.
- Remove the crust from the oven and allow it to cool for 10-12 minutes, creating a stable foundation for toppings.
- Smoothly spread a layer of creamy peanut butter across the slightly cooled cookie surface, creating a rich and uniform base.
- Generously scatter chocolate morsels, chopped peanut butter cups, chocolate pieces, and whole peanuts over the peanut butter layer, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
- Optional: Drizzle chocolate sauce in an artistic pattern across the topping for enhanced visual appeal and extra decadence.
- Slice the dessert pizza into wedge-shaped pieces and serve while still slightly warm for optimal flavor and texture.
Notes
- Cool the cookie base slightly before adding toppings to prevent melting and ensure better texture.
- Try different cookie dough varieties like chocolate chip or sugar cookie for unique flavor profiles.
- Toast nuts before sprinkling to enhance their nutty flavor and add extra crunch to the dessert pizza.
- Use room temperature peanut butter for easier spreading and more even coverage across the cookie base.
