expansion rim for dough to spread - about 1/2 inch will do.
Preheat oven to 375 F. Lightly grease 12 inch pizza pan or 15x10x1"
baking pan.
In small bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In large mixer bowl, beat butter, sugars until creamy. Beat in egg
and vanilla. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir 1 cup chocolate
morsels. Using buttered wax paper, spread in prepared pan. Bake 20
to 30 minutes or until lightly browned. Leave in pizza pan.
LEAVE ROOM FOR DOUGH TO EXPAND UP SIDES OF THE PAN
Immediately sprinkle remaining one cup morsels over crust. Let stand
five minutes or until morsels become soft and shiny. Gently spread
chocolate over crust. Let set. (After cookie dough has cooled, pizza
may have to refrigerated for 30 minutes for chocolate to set)
Optional Ingredients: If wanted, when pizza cookie comes out of the
oven sprinkle one cup morsels on hot crust; drop peanut butter by
spoonfuls on morsels. Let stand 5 minutes or until morsels become
soft and shiny. Gently spread chocolate and peanut butter evenly
over crust. Quickly sprinkle the pizza with chopped candy. (After
cookie dough has cooled, pizza may have to be refrigerated for 30
minutes for topping to set.)
Note: This is great just plain. Makes a good homemade gift.
