Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cups creamy peanut butter
- 0.75 cups powdered sugar
- 0.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1.5 cups Halloween-themed candies (e.g., candy corn, mini peanut butter cups, chocolate-coated candies)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-inch pizza pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until well incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Press the cookie dough evenly into the prepared pizza pan, leaving a small gap around the edges to allow for spreading.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is just set. Remove from the oven and allow the cookie base to cool completely in the pan.
In a medium bowl, mix the peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Spread this peanut butter mixture evenly over the cooled cookie base.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and heavy cream together in 20-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth and glossy.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer using a spoon or piping bag.
Decorate the cookie pizza with Halloween-themed candies, pressing gently to ensure they stick.
Let the cookie pizza set for about 10-15 minutes, then slice into wedges like a pizza and serve!
