Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • all-purpose flour
Lightly grease a 12 to 14 inch pizza pan; a smaller pan makes a thicker cookie.
The pizza pan
  • baking soda
  • baking powder
  • fine sea salt
Whisk the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder and fine sea salt together.
  • 2 stick unsalted butter
  • peanut butter
Mix two sticks of unsalted butter with the peanut butter for a minute.
  • light brown sugar
  • granulated sugar
Add light brown sugar and granulated sugar and beat until light in color, fluffy and aerated.
  • 2 whole eggs
Add two eggs one at a time, scraping well after each, then the vanilla extract.
Eggs, vanilla and the dry mix
  • vanilla extract
Mix in the dry ingredients until incorporated.
  • 4 oz milk chocolate
  • 4 oz dark chocolate
Mix in 4 oz milk chocolate and 4 oz dark chocolate, chopped into chunks of varied size.
Dollop the dough onto the pan and press into an even layer near the edge, leaving room to spread (all the way to the edge in a skillet or cake pan).
Pressing into the pan
Bake at 375 F until evenly golden, darker at the edge, erring on the side of underbaking.
  • 2 stick unsalted butter
  • salt
With the whip attachment, whip two sticks of room temperature unsalted butter with the salt a good long while, scraping midway, until white and increased in volume.
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
Add one can of sweetened condensed milk slowly and gradually; if it separates, keep whipping, faster if needed.
  • vanilla
  • dye
  • sprinkle
Add vanilla. Dye portions of the frosting three colors.
Spread the colors side by side on plastic wrap, roll into a log, seal the ends, cut one end open and drop into a pastry bag.
Pipe the swirled frosting onto the cooled cookie and decorate with sprinkles; slice to serve.
