It is CoKoCooks Birthday and what better way to celebrate then finally telling y’all how to make these cookie pizza. You can make them big to feed a crowd or you can make individuals. Either way you can have a little piece of each flavor or you can choose what kind of cookie you want with the bigger one. These are definitely not healthiest cookies in the entire world, but life is all about balance and celebration and I took a little short cut to make this easy dessert.
I had quite a bit of leftover betty crocker cookie mix from making my cookie baked oatmeal, and I just happened to have a friends birthday come up. I thought it would be a great idea to make a cookie pizza. Let me just tell you that this was a hit for friends and coworkers. Both of the big cookie pizza and the individual ones were equally amazing. Now there are options for making these cookies so this blog post will consist of taking you through those options.
To begin you want to choose 6 Betty Crocker cookie mixes of your choice or any other brand as long as your willing to do a little math. I highly recommend using a food scale if you do not want to make all of the 6 flavor doughs. If you don’t have a food scale then just make each batter and then we can take the sections out to use for the cookie and you can freeze the rest for cooking later.
Now if you want to use a different cookie mix then Betty Crocker you just want to make sure each of the 6 slices equals one whole box of the cookie mix. For example if there are 18 servings in one box of cookie mix then you will take the grams per serving size and times that by 18. So 1 serving = 28 grams and there are 18 servings then the whole bag will have about 504 grams. You would divide the 504 grams by 6 because we are choosing 6 cookie flavors. So you would use about 84 grams of each mix.
For the wet ingredients, since you are making the same amount of dough as 1 box then we will just follow the box instructions. So for the Betty Crocker mixes I used 1 egg, 2 tbsp water, and 1/3 cup oil. I zeroed out a food scale with a bowl on it and added all the wet ingredients. The measurement came to 144grams. I will divide that number by 6 since we have 6 different batters. Each dough will have about 24 grams of wet ingredients mixed in.
Now it is time to make the dough. On my food scale I added a bowl and zeroed it out. Then you add your grams of the mix you came up with, so this example would be 84 grams of one mix. Then I zero out the scale again and add my 24 grams of wet ingredients. Mix it together and that is dough number 1. Repeat this process for the next 5 dough balls. I will say that if using the Betty Crocker mixes then the peanut butter cookie mix needs about 30 extra grams of dry mix because it is a wetter dough. Just be sure which ever cookie mix you use to be sure each dough will use the same amount of wet ingredients. I only know for the Betty Crocker since this is the only batter I worked with.
Now all that is left to do for this cookie pizza is to get a pizza stone and shape each dough into a triangle and bake. The picture below is what the cookie looks like before going into the oven.
If you decide to just make each bag or box of dough because you don’t have a food scale, then you can just eyeball and pull out a 6th of each dough. Then it would be the same process of shaping the dough into triangles and baking.
You want to start the same way we did for the big cookie and get each batter made. You don’t necessarily need 1/6th of each mix. This just depends on how many cookies you want to make. About 1/6th of each dough makes about 16 cookies. After you have your dough made we have a few options on how to make these cookies.
First you can just measure about 1 tbsp of each dough out and roll it into balls. You place each ball on a cookie sheet next the eachother and lightly press down so all the dough balls come together. This is the easiest way in my opinion. The picture below show the unbaked cookie.
Another option is rolling out each dough in a snake shape till it is about 1×1 inches. Place each snake lined up together on parchment paper and then roll the doughs together as if you were rolling cinnamon rolls so they stack on each other and make a circle. Then cut the cookies about 1 1/2 in. wide dental floss and place it on a cookie sheet to bake.
You just can’t go wrong with whatever cookie pizza you decide because they are just so fun and so delicious. I feel like everytime I try to choose which cookie flavor is my favorite and my answer always changes. This is just such a fun way to have all the cookies flavors combined into one dessert. It is just so much fun to bring to a birthday, gathering, or celebration. I know the process may sound a little over whelming. Feel free to message me on my instagram page @_cokocooks. I would be happy to answer any questions you may have. I promise it is so satisfying to make and worth the extra effort. And for a little something extra make some ice cream sandwiches.
