Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened (or coconut oil for dairy-free option)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups gluten-free all purpose flour
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips (dairy-free if necessary)
  • 2–3 tbsp sprinkles (jimmies)

Topping

  • Frosting for edges (quantity based on preference)
  • Additional sprinkles for decoration

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray a 15-inch round pizza pan with non-stick spray or use a stone pizza pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and both sugars. Use a hand mixer to cream them together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. This ensures a tender cookie base.
  3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and blend lightly until just combined, maintaining the airy texture.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients Separately: In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute leavening agents and prevent clumps.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir or fold gently until a thick, uniform cookie dough forms.
  6. Fold in Chocolate Chips and Sprinkles: Add the chocolate chips and sprinkles into the dough and fold them evenly throughout to ensure every slice gets some fun color and chocolate.
  7. Shape the Cookie Pizza: Transfer the cookie dough onto the prepared pizza pan. Use your hands or a spatula to spread the dough into a thin, even circle about 13 inches in diameter, leaving roughly 2 inches of the pan edge exposed to allow for dough spreading during baking. For added decoration, press extra chocolate chips and sprinkles on top of the dough before baking.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the edges are set and golden but the middle still looks slightly underbaked and soft. The center may rise slightly but will settle as it cools.
  9. Cool Completely: Remove the cookie pizza from the oven and allow it to cool entirely on the pan. Cooling helps it firm up and makes slicing easier.
  10. Frost and Decorate: Once cooled, frost around the edges to add sweetness and visual appeal. Sprinkle additional sprinkles atop the frosting for a festive look.
  11. Slice and Serve: Slice into wedges like a pizza and serve. Enjoy your delightful, shareable Cookie Pizza!

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with coconut oil and use dairy-free chocolate chips.
  • Make sure to use gluten-free all-purpose flour to keep the recipe gluten-free.
  • You can customize the sprinkles and frosting colors to match any occasion or theme.
  • Do not overbake; the middle should remain slightly soft to maintain a chewy texture.
  • Letting the cookie pizza cool completely before frosting helps the frosting adhere better and prevents it from melting.
