Get the Chocolate Chip Cookie Pizza recipe
Warm cookie pizzas aren’t ground-breaking material, but they’re especially eye-catching as they travel through a dining room topped with a scoop of cold vanilla ice cream and a dash of hot fudge. While many customers agree that recommending desserts before they’ve even placed their order borders on pushy upselling, this is one dessert you’ll want to let customers know needs a little extra time for prep.
Chocolate chip cookies are among the most popular cookies. Why not turn a chocolate chip cookie into a dessert pizza. You can also make these ahead of time by pressing into the pizza pan and freezing. Allow to thaw a bit before baking.

Recipe type: dessert
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1¼ semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup of vanilla ice cream
- Hot fudge, for drizzle
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 F. Spray your pizza pan with cooking spray — you want it to gently slide out.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt together and set aside.
- Using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and both sugars together on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes.
- Add the egg and beat on high until combined.
- Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
- Add the vanilla extract, and mix on high until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low until combined.
- With the mixer running on low speed, add the chocolate chips. Dough will be thick and soft.
- Transfer the cookie dough to the pizza pan and flatten out with your fingers or a rubber spatula until the edges reach the sides (or just about to the sides).
- Bake for 15 minutes or until puffed and lightly browned on top.
- Tap pan on table.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes or two.
- Top immediately with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream (or gelato!) and drizzle with hot fudge.
- Serve immediately.
