Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookie Pizza by Tiina Strandberg is like a gooey-in-the-middle, crispy-on-the-edges cookie. This cookie is perhaps the only one that you won’t mind sharing with others because it is enormous. The secret to the gooeyness of this cookie pizza is a peanut butter layer slathered between two layers of dough before baking that melts when the cookie is baked. You can enjoy this giant cookie either warm when it is still soft and gooey, or after a few hours or overnight when it has firmed up and is easy to cut into cookie pizza slices.

7. Chocolate Chip Carrot Cake Scones
