“Pizza” Cookies

“Pizza” Cookies

We were making pizza in camp and made these giant cookies, baked in pizza pans, for dessert. The recipe calls for peanut butter but since we have a couple of kids with nut allergies we just left it out. The cookies work just fine either way. They are a lot of fun to make, decorate and eat!! Recipe follows.

“Pizza” Cookies

½ c. each butter, peanut butter and packed brown sugar
1/3 c. granulated sugar
1 egg
1 t. vanilla
1 c. flour
1 c. chocolate chips
¾ c. mini marshmallows
2/3 c. peanuts, optional
½ c. M&M’s

Beat together butter, peanut butter and sugars until smooth. Beat in egg and vanilla. Stir in flour and press into ungreased 12-13-inch pizza pan. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 15-18 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with chocolate and peanut butter chips. Let stand for 1 or 2 minutes than spread over crust with a spatula. Top with remaining ingredients and return to oven for 5 minutes. Cool and cut. Makes 12 servings.
