If you are present in the pastry section of social networks, you have most certainly seen Cédric Grolet's cookie-pizza at his Parisian café. In his version, he makes giant cookies with all sorts of flavors, which he then sells by the slice. In my version, I did something else because I didn't want to make 6 giant cookies (it would have needed a large group to eat all that later), so I made a plain giant cookie, which I cut and topped halfway through baking. This way, you get several different flavors but with just one giant cookie, and it's even an opportunity to make this recipe with children so that everyone can top their piece of cookie-pizza!
 
Ingredients:
I used chocolates from Valrhona: code ILETAITUNGATEAU for 20% off the entire site (affiliate).
I used nuts and speculoos spread from Koro: code ILETAITUNGATEAU for 5% off the entire site (non-affiliate).



Preparation time: 20 minutes + about 20 minutes of baking
For a cookie in 6 slices:
 

Ingredients:


 140g of butter
 65g of muscovado sugar
 70g of brown sugar
 1 egg
 240g of flour
 3g of baking powder
 
For the topping: various chocolate chips, chocolate-hazelnut spread, speculoos spread, pistachios, pecans, raspberries, speculoos, coconut, hazelnuts, speculoos… whatever you like!

 When the cookie starts to turn golden, take it out of the oven, remove the ring.
 
 

Cookie pizza 6


 
 Cut your cookie portions (I cut mine into 6 portions) and add the toppings: chocolates and nuts (make sure to press the chocolate pieces well into the dough).

 Put back in the oven for 3-4 minutes so the chocolate melts and the cookie finishes baking. Then let it cool slightly and add other toppings: spreads, caramel... And enjoy!
