Another of my dessert entries for the Real Women of Philadelphia contest. I ‘think’ this may have been the family favorite that week. We all LOVED this Gluten Free Creamy Cookie Pizza, the flavour was AMAZING! This is the one thing that I know I could have made right away again, and my family would have gobbled it up in a matter of days. So yummy, and so pretty with all the coloured candy, and drizzled chocolates and caramel. *sigh* I wish I had a piece right now!

Gluten-free Cookie Pizza with Chocolate Chip Cookie Base | The Baking Beauties


Oh. My. Goodness. This dessert was so great. If I ever open a cafe, this is definitely going on the list of baked goodies I’ll be selling. A fantastic chewy chocolate chip oatmeal cookie on the bottom, with a sweetened creamy layer of cream cheese ‘sauce’, topped with toasted nuts, candies, coconut, caramel sauce and drizzled with two kinds of chocolate. My family can not wait until I make this again (and neither can I!).

Gluten Free Creamy Cookie Pizza

Yield: 12

A large Gluten-free Chocolate Chip Cookie Pizza - use your favorite toppings, just be sure they are all gluten-free.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose Gluten-Free Flour (see NOTE)
  • 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup gluten-free Quick Cook oats
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup almond slivers
  • 1/2 cup shredded, sweetened coconut
  • 1/2 cup M&M Candies
  • 1/4 cup caramel sauce
  • 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate, melted
  • 1/4 cup white chocolate, melted

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, stir together the butter and brown sugar. Stir in the egg and vanilla. Add the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, baking soda, and gluten-free oats. Stir until well combined. Add the chocolate chips and stir until evenly distributed in the dough. Place dough in a lightly greased pizza pan. Place plastic wrap over the dough, and press dough evenly over the bottom of the pizza pan. Bake in preheated oven for 18 minutes.
  • While the cookie is baking, mix the cream cheese "sauce". In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to combine the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  • Toast the almond slivers and coconut in a frying pan over medium heat. Keep stirring the mixture until it is a light golden colour, and smells nutty. Remove from frying pan as soon as the nuts and coconut are a light golden colour. Set aside.
  • Once the cookie has baked, remove from oven and place on a cooling rack. Allow to cool for 30 minutes.
  • Once the cookie has cooled, spread the cream cheese "sauce" over the cookie pizza. Sprinkle the top of the pizza with the toasted almonds and coconut and M&M's. Drizzle with caramel sauce and melted semi-sweet and white chocolate.
  • Cut into wedges, and serve. Cookie can be refrigerated for 1 day (longer if not using the M&M candies).

    • Notes

    Gluten-Free Flour Blend - 4 cups superfine brown rice flour, 1 1/3 cups potato starch (not flour), 2/3 cup tapioca starch. Combine all ingredients in a large zipper-top bag. Shake until well blended.

      This is just too perfect! I cannot believe I have not made a cookie pizza gluten-free yet. I used to make them all of the time before we were gf. Thanks so much for the reminder and for the awesome recipe! 😉

      Your cookie pizza look great. I am sure my daughter would love it. She is not gluten free but I often bake gluten free stuff and she likes it. I have very recently started a gluten free blog do visit some time.

      Jeanine,

      You have done it again … created a gluten free recipe that is simply amazing in both looks and taste. Thanks so much for this recipe. My hubby and I put it together this weekend. He baked the cookie part and I did the rest. We left off the M&M’s as we didn’t have any on hand. We took the pizza to a potluck lunch at church and, literally, not even a crumb was left. We will be making this again and again!

      If I try this as individual cookies, will they run too much and be very flat? I hate to ruin it, it looks so fantastic. Can’t wait to try it!!
