Ingredients

• 0.75 cup unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 unit large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup mini marshmallows
• 0.5 cup chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
• 0.25 cup hot fudge sauce (optional, for drizzling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Grease a 9-inch round deep-dish pizza pan or springform pan and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture and beat until well combined.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined and a soft dough forms.

Step 7

Press the cookie dough evenly into the prepared pan, spreading it to the edges to form the base of your pizza.

Step 8

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden but still soft in the center.

Step 9

Remove the pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the warm cookie base.

Step 10

Let the chocolate chips sit for 1-2 minutes to melt slightly, then use a spatula to gently spread them into an even layer.

Step 11

Sprinkle the mini marshmallows and chopped nuts evenly over the melted chocolate layer.

Step 12

Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the marshmallows are puffed and lightly toasted.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let the dessert pizza cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.

Step 14

Drizzle hot fudge sauce over the top for an extra decadent finish, if desired.

Step 15

Slice into wedges and serve warm.
