Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cup Cookie Cake Pizza

After a number of baking failures, I felt I needed to try something so easy, even I wouldn’t mess it up.

This takes about 10 minutes to prepare, simple! And it is gooey, chocolatey and more-ish goodness. I am ashamed how fast this disappeared.

2 sticks (1 cup) butter, at room temperature
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups plus 2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate discs (may substitute chocolate chips)
1 1/4 cups Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (can be substituted with M&Ms or other chocolate)

1. Preheat oven to 375º.  Line a 14 inch deep round pizza pan with parchment and grease entire pan including the paper.  Set aside.
2. Cream the butter and sugars in a large bowl.  Add eggs and mix to combine.  Add vanilla and mix well.  Add dry ingredients, and stir till incorporated. Mix in chocolate discs and 1/2 cup M&Ms, reserving 3/4 cup to garnish the top.  Spread dough evenly in prepared pan. Use remaining M&Ms to decorate the top of the cookie cake.
3. Bake for 20-25 minutes.  Cool and remove from pan if desired.  Slice and serve.
