Happy Cookie Friday! The week comes to an end (finally) and it is time to bake something! How about some cookies?! Or maybe just one cookie? Yes, this is really a cookie. The size got a bit out of hand I have to admit :P Just kidding. It is called Cookie Pizza or Cookie Cake. I prefer the term Cookie Pizza – sounds more fun, and to be honest it does look much more like a pizza, not a cake, am I right ;)
I have seen this kind of oversized cookies all over the internet and Instagram and I am not surprised they are sooo popular. They look awesome and are so easy to make! This means: I HAD TO MAKE one myself for #CookieFriday. Enough of all these tiny cookies. It’s time for something larger. Let’s bake a big one!
All you have to do is take your favorite cookie recipe – in my case a chocolate chip cookie recipe – grab a large pizza pan and get started. The topping is an easy chocolate ganache and a lot of sweets and chocolates. And tadaaaa: a supersized cookie!
The Cookie Pizza is perfect for a party, no matter if you have children or adults as guests. If you have kids over, you can actually make the oversized cookie with them together – it’s a lot of fun and I bet they gonna love it! The cookie can be cut into slices and then served – make the slices smaller and you can feed a whole soccer team… well, almost ;P
The Cookie Pizza is quite sweet and sugary as it is. If you want to cut back on the sugar (and avoid a sugar rush), you can use less sugary sweets for the decoration. Jelly Beans are not known for being »sugar-free«, right? I bet there are a few other sweets you could use instead. Or go for it and and enjoy the sugar high ;P
You will find much more cookie recipes here on the blog. Hundreds of cookie recipes, to be honest. I really love to bake them ;P In case you like stuff like this Cookie Pizza, you might want to try my Kinder Chocolate Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies or maybe my Fudgy Biscuits Brownies – both really delicious!
INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN
For the cookie:
3/4 cup (170g) butter
1 1/4 cup (150g) sugar
1 pinch of salt
1 large egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups (175g) all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 cup (150g) chocolate chips
For the decoration:
7 oz. (200g) milk chocolate
1/3 cup (80g) heavy cream
sweets like Jelly Beans, chocolate cookies, Smarties, etc.
Für den Cookie:
170g Butter
150g Zucker
1 Prise Salz
1 Ei (L)
1 TL Vanille Extrakt
175g Mehl (Type 405)
1 TL Backpulver
150g Schokoladendrops
Für die Dekoration:
200g Vollmilchschokolade
80g Sahne
Süßigkeiten wie z.B. Jelly Beans, Hanuta, Duplo, Smarties usw.
DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
1. Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180°C). Grease a pizza pan (Ø 12.6 inches/32cm) or line with baking parchment and set aside.
2. In a large bowl mix the butter with sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and mix in well. Add the vanilla extract and mix in. In a second bowl, mix flour with baking powder and then add to the large bowl and mix in until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips. Transfer the dough to the prepared cookie pizza pan and smooth out the top (works best with a spatula). Bake for 15-20 minutes – the cookie should get a nice golden color, but do not over-bake! It should still be a bit soft in the center. Take it out of the oven and let cool down completely.
3. Chop the chocolate coarsely and add to a bowl. Heat up the heavy cream in a small saucepan until small bubbles appear on the surface. Pour over the chopped chocolate and let sit for about 2-3 minutes, then stir until all is well combined and you have a nice smooth ganache. Pour over the cooled cookie – make sure you go to the edges of the cookie. Let cool down a bit, then cut 8 slices into the chocolate and decorate each slice with different sweets or chocolate pieces.
1. Den Ofen auf 180°C (350°F) Ober-/Unterhitze vorheizen. Ein Pizzablech mit Ø 32cm (12.6 inches) einfetten oder mit Backpapier auslegen und zur Seite stellen.
2. Die Butter mit dem Zucker in einer großen Schüssel schaumig aufschlagen. Das Ei zugeben und gut unterrühren – es sollte eine helle und luftige Masse entstehen. Vanille Extrakt zugeben und unterrühren. Das Mehl mit dem Backpulver mischen und zur Schüssel zugeben und nur kurz unterrühren. Die Schokoladendrops unterheben. Den Teig auf das vorbereitete Pizzablech geben und mit einer Palette glattstreichen. Im Ofen für 15-20 Minuten backen – der Cookie sollte eine goldbraune Farbe bekommen haben – nicht überbacken, sonst wird er sehr trocken. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und auskühlen lassen.
3. Die Schokolade grob hacken und in eine Schüssel geben. Die Sahne in einem kleinen Topf erhitzen, bis sie leicht anfängt zu köcheln – auf die gehackte Schokolade gießen und etwa 2-3 Minuten stehen lassen, dann umrühren, bis eine glatte Masse entsteht. Auf den ausgekühlten Cookie schütten und so verteilen, dass er fast komplett bedeckt ist. Die Ganache etwas abkühlen lassen und dann mit einem Messer 8 Segmente in die Oberfläche schneiden und dann jedes Segment mit unterschiedlichen Süßigkeiten belegen.

I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
