By now you may have guessed, I LOVE cookie dough! I got The Cookie Dough Lover’s Cookbook for my birthday and by now you may have seen the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Sandwiches, the Cookie Dough Popsicles, and the Red, White, & Blue Cookie Dough Dessert Pizza, all made from this book. I really just enjoy eating the (eggless!) cookie dough straight from the bowl but also love it in any dessert! Today’s dessert is a take on the cookie dough dessert pizza but with different toppings. I actually made this twice this week for two separate occasions and was a hit both times. The classic sugar cookie base topped with a creamy peanut butter sauce, peanut butter cookie dough, and peanut butter cup minis! The only thing that could make this better (which wasn’t thought of til after the fact) would possibly be a drizzle of chocolate sauce. Next time, and there WILL be a next time, I may try doing just that!
Ingredients
- 1 pkg PILLSBURY SUGAR COOKIE DOUGH (or your favorite sugar cookie dough)
- 2 Tablespoons UNSALTED BUTTER, room temperature
- 2 Tablespoons CREAMY PEANUT BUTTER
- 2 Tablespoons GRANULATED SUGAR
- 1/4 cup BROWN SUGAR, packed
- 1/2 teaspoon VANILLA
- 1/8 teaspoon SALT (increase to 1/4 teaspoon if using unsalted peanut butter)
- 1/2 cup FLOUR
- 1 Tablespoon MILK or cream
- 2 Tablespoons CREAMY PEANUT BUTTER
- 1 Tablespoon HONEY
- Pinch ground CINNAMON
- 1/8 - 1/4 cup HEAVY CREAM
- PEANUT BUTTER CUP MINIS
- ROASTED PEANUTS (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll out cookie dough into approximately 11" circle. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Let cool completely. Meanwhile make peanut butter cookie dough and peanut butter sauce.
- Beat together butter, peanut butter, sugars, and vanilla. Add salt and flour and mix until incorporated. Add milk and mix until dough comes together. Roll into small bite size balls and set aside.
- Whisk together peanut butter, honey, cinnamon, and 1/8 cup of cream until smooth. Add more cream if needed to create the right consistency.
- Spread a layer of sauce over cooled cookie and top with cookie dough and peanut butter cup minis. ENJOY!
