Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use bittersweet or milk chocolate chips?

Yes, you can but bear in mind that bittersweet chocolate chips are infused with a high cacao percentage. Instead of a sugary taste, it contributes a deep and intense chocolate flavor. Milk chocolate chips contain additives like sugar, milk, and added fat which adds a sweeter taste.

Do I need to chill the cookie dough before baking?

No need! Unlike smaller portions that need the butter to set for a thicker result, you’re already spreading the mixture onto a pan like an actual pizza.

Conclusion

Enjoy this absolutely fantastic dessert from Papa John's. Now you don't have to go out and order this pizza-sized dessert. Make this pizza cookie recipe at home, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, and enjoy - with others or by yourself!
