Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • ½ cup brown sugar packed
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for cream cheese layer
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips for topping
  • Chocolate syrup for drizzling

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  6. Spread the cookie dough mixture evenly onto a greased 12-inch pizza pan, pressing it down to form a crust.
  7. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The center may look slightly underbaked; this is fine as it will continue to cook as it cools.
  8. While the cookie crust is baking, prepare the cream cheese layer by beating together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  9. Once the cookie crust has cooled completely, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on top.
  10. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips over the cream cheese layer, pressing them slightly into the mixture.
  11. Drizzle chocolate syrup generously over the top before slicing and serving.
