Ingredients
Scale
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 Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to warm up while you prepare the cookie dough.
- Prepare Pan: Grease a large pizza pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and baking soda; set this mixture aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, use a mixer or spoon to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until the mixture is well combined and slightly fluffy.
- Combine Flour Mixture: Gradually add the flour and baking soda mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring continuously until fully incorporated and a dough forms.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the semisweet chocolate chips into the cookie dough to evenly distribute the chocolate.
- Shape Dough: Press the dough evenly into a circle on the prepared pizza pan, making sure the thickness is consistent across the surface.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the edges turn golden brown but the center remains soft.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cookie pizza to cool for about 10 minutes on the pan before slicing into wedges and serving.
Notes
- Use parchment paper to make cleanup easier and avoid greasing the pan directly.
- For a gooey center, slightly underbake the cookie pizza, checking it at 15 minutes.
- You can substitute chocolate chips with other mix-ins like nuts or white chocolate chips for variation.
- Serving warm enhances the melty chocolate experience.
