Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9-inch round pizza pan or line with parchment paper.
2. Make the Cookie Crust:
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
- In a separate large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add egg and vanilla, mixing well.
- Gradually add dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan.
3. Make the Brownie Layer:
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat.
- Stir in sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
- Add cocoa powder, flour, and salt, mixing until fully combined.
- Spread brownie batter over the cookie crust in an even layer.
4. Bake:
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, until edges are set and the center is just slightly soft.
- Let cool completely before adding topping.
5. Make the Peanut Butter Swirl:
- In a small bowl, whisk peanut butter, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth and drizzle-able.
- Use a spoon or piping bag to drizzle over the cooled brownie pizza.
Tips for Success
- Don’t overbake—the brownie center should stay slightly gooey.
- Let cool completely before drizzling the peanut butter swirl for best appearance.
- Chill for 10 minutes after decorating to set the drizzle before slicing.
