Preparation

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer, beat the softened butter with both sugars on medium speed until creamy and smooth, about 3 minutes.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating on high speed until fully incorporated, about one minute.
  5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredient blend with the mixer running on low speed until just combined.
  6. Add in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and mix until the dough is thick, soft, and sticky.
  7. Transfer the dough to the greased pizza pan and flatten it out until approximately 3/4 inch thick.
Baking
  1. Place the cookie pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 20–24 minutes until puffed and lightly browned on top.
  2. Allow the cookie pizza to cool on the pan set on a cooling rack.
  3. Press a few extra chocolate chips into the top while it’s still warm.
