Chocolate Cookie Pizza

Preparation

1. Heat oven to 350° F. In large bowl, mix 1/2 cup butter, the brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla and egg until well blended. Stir in flour and baking soda (dough will be stiff).
2. Pat dough in ungreased 12-inch pizza pan or into 12-inch round on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool about 30 minutes.
3. In 2-quart saucepan, heat chocolate chips, 2 tablespoons butter and milk over low heat, stirring occasionally, just until chocolate is melted; remove from heat. Stir in powdered sugar. Beat with wire whisk until smooth, glossy and spreadable. (If not glossy, stir in a few drops hot water).
4. Spread chocolate mixture over baked layer. Immediately sprinkle with pecans, candies and coconut; press lightly. Drizzle with melted baking bars. Let stand until set. Remove from pan if desired. Cut into wedges.

Tips

• Freeze the unfrosted cookie in a tightly covered container for up to 2 months. Just before you want to enjoy your cookie pizza, thaw, frost and decorate.
• Looking for an even easier way to make this cookie pizza? Mix a 19.8-ounce box of Betty Crocker® fudge brownie mix as directed on the box; spread batter in greased pizza pan. Bake at 350ºF about 30 minutes or until center is set; cool. Spread with a container of Betty Crocker® Whipped chocolate ready-to-spread frosting instead of the chocolate mixture.
