Recipe for Chocolate and Peanut Butter Cookie Dessert Pizza

Easy Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe

What You Need

1 cup butter flavored shortening 1 1/4 cups sugar 1 cup packed brown sugar 2 eggs 1 cup creamy peanut butter 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 cups flour 2 cups uncooked quick oats 1/4 cup butter flavored shortening 1 cup chocolate chips 1 cup peanut butter chips 1/2 cup sugar coated candies 1/2 cup diced cherries 1/2 cup raisins 1/2 cup flake coconut 1/2 cup slivered almonds 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans 1/2 cup miniature marshmallows

How to Make It

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Using a large mixing bowl and an electric mixer you will add the shortening and then cream it on a low speed setting. While beating add 1 cup of sugar and the packed brown sugar, and then cream together until smooth and fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time while creaming together with the shortening mixture. Add the peanut butter, baking soda, vanilla flavoring, and salt to this mixture and then beat for 2 or 3 minutes until it is well blended. Using a large spoon, you will gradually stir in the oats a little at a time until well combined.

Press this mixture onto an un-greased pizza pan or baking sheet evenly. Gently pinch up the sides as you go around the edges of the pan to form a rim. Place in the preheated oven to bake for about 18 to 20 minutes or until it is a nice golden brown. Remove from heat and allow the crust to completely become cool to the touch.

After the crust is cool add the sugar coated candies, cherries, raisins, coconut and nuts by sprinkling them over the pizza you are making. Arrange the miniature marshmallows and then set aside while you prepare the topping.

Using a small saucepan over a low heat, you will add the remaining shortening and allow it to melt slowly. Add peanut butter chips and chocolate chips to the saucepan and stir to melt and mix with the shortening. Remove from heat and allow this to cool for a short time. Stir to mix and then drizzle this peanut butter chocolate topping over the candy filling of your chocolate peanut butter dessert pizza.

Place in the refrigerator to chill overnight or for several hours before cutting into small serving wedges for your holiday party or as an everyday peanut butter snack.
