Let me share with you how to create this masterpiece that will surely knock everyone’s socks off!
What’s in Chocolate Chip S’mores Cookie Pizza?
- Refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough: The crust for our pizza! I usually go for the Pillsbury brand—it’s familiar and bakes up perfectly. Feel free to use any dough you love.
- Semi-sweet chocolate chips: These dreamy morsels add that classic s’mores flavor. If you’re feeling adventurous, a mix of chocolate chips can bring extra depth.
- Mini marshmallows: The star of the show! Their fluffiness adds that iconic marshmallowy goodness we all adore. The mini size ensures every bite is perfectly gooey.
- Graham cracker crumbs: Essential for giving that signature s’mores texture. You can crush them yourself or buy pre-crushed for convenience—no judgment here!
- Unsalted butter: Just a little melted goodness to enhance flavor. I always keep a stick or two in the fridge for baking emergencies!
- Extra chocolate chips: For those who believe in extra indulgence, a drizzle of melted chocolate never hurt anyone!
Is Chocolate Chip S’mores Cookie Pizza Good for You?
Let’s be honest—this isn’t a health food, but it sure is a delicious treat! The star ingredients—chocolate chip cookie dough, chocolate chips, and mini marshmallows—are purely indulgent. However, there are some small benefits tucked away: chocolate can be a source of antioxidants, and marshmallows can give you a quick energy boost. Just remember, moderation is key! Also, if you’re looking to make it a bit lighter, you can swap out some ingredients. For example, some might choose to use whole wheat graham crackers or dark chocolate to add a touch of sophistication and healthiness to this sweet affair.
Ingredients List
- 1 package (16.5 oz) refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- Extra chocolate chips for topping (optional)
How to Make Chocolate Chip S’mores Cookie Pizza?
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and get ready for some mouthwatering magic!
- Grab a large bowl and ready that refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough. Press it into the bottom of a round pizza pan or baking dish to form a thick, delicious crust.
- Slide that crust into the oven and bake for about 15–20 minutes, or until it’s golden brown and calling your name. Once it’s done, let it cool slightly because we don’t want toasted fingers!
- While the cookie is still warm and smelling divine, sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the top. Just imagine the gooeyness that’s about to happen!
- Now, evenly distribute the mini marshmallows over the chocolate chips, and sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the top. You’re building flavor layers, my friend!
- Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes. We’re going for beautifully golden and slightly toasted marshmallows!
- If you’re feeling really indulgent, drizzle some extra melted chocolate chips over the top once you’ve removed it from the oven. No one’s judging here!
- Allow it to cool for a few minutes before moving on to the best part—slice into pizza-style pieces and serve warm.
Tips for the Ultimate S’mores Experience
- For an over-the-top treat, serve your cookie pizza with a scoop of ice cream. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you!
- If you want a richer flavor, swap the semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark chocolate or even a mix of different chocolates.
- Add more graham cracker crumbs just before serving for an extra crunch that mimics the classic s’mores texture.
This Chocolate Chip S’mores Cookie Pizza is not just a dessert; it’s an invitation to indulge and enjoy the sweet moments in life.
