Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

  • All-Purpose Flour: Use unbleached flour for better texture and flavor in your cookie base.
  • Baking Soda: A key ingredient that helps your cookie rise and gives it that soft chewiness.
  • Salt: Just a pinch amplifies all the sweet flavors beautifully.
  • Unsalted Butter: Make sure it’s softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
  • Brown Sugar: This adds moisture and rich caramel notes; don’t skip it!
  • Granulated Sugar: Balances the brown sugar’s depth with its sweetness.
  • Vanilla Extract: A must-have for that classic cookie flavor; use pure vanilla if possible.
  • Eggs: Helps bind everything together while adding richness.
  • Chocolate Chips: Go wild hereā€”semi-sweet, dark, or even white chocolate work wonders!
  • Ice Cream (optional): A scoop of vanilla or chocolate ice cream takes this dessert over the top!

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it Together!

Preheat your oven to 350Ā°F (175Ā°C). Grab your trusty baking sheet and line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined. This helps evenly distribute the leavening agent.

Cream Butter and Sugars: In another bowl, beat softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffyā€”around 3 minutes should do the trick.

Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in eggs one at a time along with vanilla extract. The mixture should look creamy and smooth by now.

Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined. Donā€™t overmix; we want those delicious cookies to stay tender.

Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in those luscious chocolate chips using a spatulaā€”feel free to reserve some for topping later!

Bake Your Creation: Spread the dough onto your prepared baking sheet into a circular shape about 1 inch thick. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown around the edges but still soft in the center.

After removing from the oven, let it cool slightly before slicing into wedges or serving wholeā€”donā€™t forget that scoop of ice cream on top!

Now you have created an amazing Chocolate Chip Cookie Pizza that will surely win hearts! Enjoy every gooey bite while basking in compliments from friends and family!
