Chocolate-Peanut Butter Cookie Pizza

​Ingredients:

• 1 roll (16.5 oz) refrigerated chocolate chip cookies
• 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 cup frozen whipped topping, thawed SAVE $
• 3/4 cup hot fudge topping
• 1/4 cup chopped peanuts

 
Directions: 

• Heat oven to 350°F. In ungreased 12-inch pizza pan, break up cookie dough. With floured fingers, press dough evenly in bottom of pan to form crust.
• Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in medium bowl, beat cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Fold in whipped topping.
• Spread 1/2 cup of the fudge topping over cooled crust. Spread peanut butter mixture over top. Drizzle with remaining 1/4 cup fudge topping. Sprinkle with peanuts. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes or until serving time. Cut into wedges or squares.

Expert Tip: Prepare the cookie pizza crust up to a day ahead of time. After it's cooled, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store at room temperature until you're ready to top it off.
