Pizza Cookies

Yesterday Mckenna and I made cookies just for her to give to her friends and whoever she'd like to bless with. They were called Candy Shop Pizza Cookies. What a great time making them. They are large cookies that you decorate like pizzas....and they really do look like pizzas, in a way! The nice thing is that one recipe makes 2-4 of them, so it doesn't take quite as long baking tray after tray. I changed or omitted a few things and noted below.

Candy shop Pizza cookies

10 tablespoon butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup semisweet chocolate morsels, divided
1 cup white chocolate morsels, divided (I used butterscotch just cause I had it on hand)
1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter (I used much less than this)
Toppings: holiday sprinkles, candy-coated chocolate pieces, white chocolate pretzels
White chocolate, melted (I skipped this and they came out fine)
Preparation
Beat first 4 ingredients at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Add egg and vanilla; blend well.

Combine flour, soda, and salt; gradually add to butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in 1/2 cup each of semisweet and white chocolate morsels. Spread dough evenly onto 2 lightly greased 6-inch round pizza pans. (I just used cookie sheets and did 4 pizza cookies out of one recipe. They were a very generous size).

Bake at 375° for 20 to 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Working quickly, sprinkle crust with remaining semisweet and white chocolate morsels; drop peanut butter by tablespoonfuls onto crust. Let stand 5 minutes or until morsels and peanut butter are softened; gently spread evenly over crust. Decorate with desired toppings; drizzle pizza with melted white chocolate.
