Don’t forget to download the full printable recipe below so you can print it out and use it whenever you feel like making this delicious recipe!
- To make this easy cookie pizza recipe, start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees.
- Line a 12-inch round pizza pan with parchment paper and set it aside.
- Add the butter, brown sugar, milk, and vanilla.
- Cream the ingredients together until they’re smooth and fluffy.
- Add the egg and beat again until well combined.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda to mix and remove any lumps.
- Add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and mix until combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Spread the cookie dough into the prepared pan, leaving about ½ inch around the edges so the cookie can room to spread.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the edges start to brown.
- Remove the cookie from the oven and move it to a wire rack to cool.
- While your cookie cools, start making your frosting by beating the cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until fluffy.
- Add the powdered sugar and vanilla and beat again until smooth.
- Fold in the whipped topping with a rubber spatula just until mixed.
- Spread the frosting evenly onto the cooled cookie crust.
- Top with your favorite candies and toppings and serve immediately!
Tips Tricks and FAQs
- You can use nonstick cooking spray if you don’t have any parchment paper. It’ll help the cookie pizza not stick, but parchment paper is great because you can remove it so easily. You also want to cool the cookie on a wire rack and transferring it is so much easier with parchment paper!
- If you can find a pizza pan that is at least ½ inch deep, it’ll be very helpful. It’s so much easier to press the cookies into a deep dish pan. It also helps to prevent any sort of spilling over while the cookie bakes.
- Turn this dessert back into a personal treat by spreading the cookie crust into smaller circles on a baking sheet and topping with the same frosting. My kids love when I do this and they can decorate their own personal cookie pizza! This is a great tip if you have allergies or picky eaters in the group.
Storage
