Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups light brown sugar, packed
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 cups creamy peanut butter
• 0.75 cups powdered sugar
• 0.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1.5 cups Halloween-themed candies (e.g., candy corn, mini peanut butter cups, chocolate-coated candies)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-inch pizza pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until well incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Press the cookie dough evenly into the prepared pizza pan, leaving a small gap around the edges to allow for spreading.

Step 7

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is just set. Remove from the oven and allow the cookie base to cool completely in the pan.

Step 8

In a medium bowl, mix the peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Spread this peanut butter mixture evenly over the cooled cookie base.

Step 9

In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and heavy cream together in 20-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth and glossy.

Step 10

Drizzle the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer using a spoon or piping bag.

Step 11

Decorate the cookie pizza with Halloween-themed candies, pressing gently to ensure they stick.

Step 12

Let the cookie pizza set for about 10-15 minutes, then slice into wedges like a pizza and serve!
