I chose this recipe because I really like sweets and pizzas.

Cookie Pizza
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/8 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 a 3.9-ounce box instant chocolate pudding mix (not cook and serve)
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Toppings
- Nutella
- Mini marshmallows
- Crushed hard pretzels
- M&M candies
- Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Caramel sauce
- Chocolate sauce
Elaboration
- Thoroughly grease a 10-inch (about 25 centimeters) cake pan with butter or vegetable shortening. You can also line the bottom with a circle of parchment paper to further protect it from sticking. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, a few minutes. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well. (You can also whisk these together in a bowl by hand, but the mixer will come in handy later as the final dough is very thick).
- In another bowl, whisk or sift together the flour, cocoa power, baking soda, salt, and instant chocolate pudding mix.
- Add the dry mix to the wet mixture in four batches—add a little, mix, add a little, mix, and so on, until well combined. The mixture will be pretty thick. Add the chocolate chips and mix until well combined.
- Press the cookie dough into the cake pan in an even layer. Cover and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees (175 degrees Celsius). Place the cookie pizza in the oven and bake for 25-28 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before decorating.
- To decorate the pizza, spread the Nutella (or the icing, etc. of your choice) on top of the cookie.
- If using toasted mini marshmallows, place them on the pizza still in the cake pan and toast them either with a kitchen torch or by briefly placing the cookie pizza in the oven on the “broil” setting.
- Sprinkle the pizza with all the other toppings you like and serve.
