Hey, Food Fanatic!
I am SO excited to be the newest member of the Food Fanatic Family! I feel like I’ve been adopted into a gigantic family full of food bloggers which is both so awesome and a little dangerous for my waistline.
If you don’t know me, my name’s Hayley and I blog over at The Domestic Rebel.
The Domestic Rebel is all about baking fearlessly in the kitchen and using easy, accessible ingredients to make outrageous, extraordinary desserts. Can you guess what my favorite ingredient is to work with? I’ll give you a hint: it’s raw. It’s all natural. It’s transformative. It’s versatile. It’s freaking delicious. It’s… cookie dough! And while I’m a cookie dough lover of all kinds, the classic chocolate chip has to be my all-time favorite.
Another one of my favorite foods? Pizza. I seriously cannot get enough of the stuff. I could eat it daily and be smitten. It’s just the perfect food. And when you combine pizza + cookie dough? Oh, HONEY. You best believe it’s going to be a life-changing religious experience.
This pizza has a crispy, chewy chocolate chip cookie crust which bakes up simply since it’s made with refrigerated cookie dough – easy! After it’s cooled, the crust is topped with a sinfully smooth chocolate ganache sauce. Hold me. And on top of the ganache is the piece de resistance – huge, gratuitous, irresistible chunks of chocolate chip cookie dough. If you ever wondered if heaven existed on earth, it does – it is located in your mouth whilst eating this pizza. No joke.
Methinks this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship between you, me, and cookie dough pizza, don’t ya think?

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Pizza Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 tube Refrigerated Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Room temperature
- 12 ounces Semisweet Chocolate Chips 1 package
- 1/4 cup Heavy Cream
- 3/4 cup Butter Room temperature
- 3/4 cup Brown Sugar
- 1/4 cup Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Milk
- 2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
- pinch of Salt
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 cup Mini Semisweet Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a pizza pan with foil and mist lightly with cooking spray. Using the palms of your hands, work the premade cookie dough into a circular crust shape almost completely to the edges of the pan. Bake the crust for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely.
- While the crust cools, prepare your cookie dough topping. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter, brown sugar & sugar with the paddle attachment until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the milk and vanilla and beat again. Lastly, add the salt and flour and gently beat to combine. Stir in the miniature chocolate chips.
- Roll Tablespoon-sized balls of cookie dough and place them onto a foil-lined baking sheet. Pop the cookie dough balls into the fridge to keep chill while the crust continues to cool. Right before assembling pizza, roughly chop the dough balls into smaller pieces.
- Once the crust has cooled, prepare the ganache: in a microwaveable bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and the heavy cream. Microwave for 45 seconds and then stir until smooth, careful not to scorch chocolate. Spread the ganache over top of the cookie crust in an even layer, extending the ganache all the way to the outer crust’s edges. Immediately top with the chopped chocolate chip cookie dough pieces.
- Allow the pizza to sit in the fridge for about 10 minutes or until set, then cut into wedges and serve! Store leftovers in the fridge.
