Now you can have your cookies double the size and double the deliciousness in this pizza-formed giant oatmeal chocolate chip cookie!
I feel as though I’m breaking a LOT of rules with today’s recipe. As in I-will-never-ever-be-skinny-as-long-as-I-have-this-stuff-in-my-face kinda rules.
Do my skinny jeans care? Probably.
Do I care? No.
Moving on….
I have a confession to make.—Here goes…..Even though I totally love a slice (or 10) of cheesy cheesy oh-so cheesy pizza, my favorite kind of pizza isn’t savory.
It’s sweet. And it involves cookies. And chocolate.
Are you even surprised? I’m pretty predictable that way.
Shameful, I know. But the truth hurts, and the honest-to-goodness truth is that I could totally make my dinner outta this cookie pizza.
I mean, it has the word PIZZA in it so obviously it is a completely appropriate dinner item. Amiright?!
Don’t answer that. I probably wouldn’t listen anyway. 😉
I just kinda wanna stick my face in this skillet and never ever come out.
I mean, it’s got oats in it, so OBV this is total health food here, people.
Really.
Cookie pizzas are totally my newest fav thing for a few big reasons:
We’ve got cookies DOUBLED the size, crammed with tons of chocolate and in PIZZA form?! Um, no.
KIDDING. HOLY TAMALES, YES.
For real, guys. I can’t remember the last time I gorged myself with such awesomeness.
Oh, wait. That was only yesterday…
Seriously, you have NO idea how hard it was to make it through taking photos of this pizza. Little chunks kept “accidentally” breaking off so OBV there was some nibbling here and there.
Why, yes. I will take some milk with that. 😉
Have you guys tried my Chewiest Oatmeal Raisin Cookies yet? I shared the recipe a few weeks ago and then I teased you on IG with a photo of this pizza a few days afterward. Today’s ginormous cookie is based off of that amazing recipe, only we’re making it super-fun-sized and subbing in the chocolate for the raisins.
Raisins, I love you dearly but chocolate needs a spotlight too. Eat-in-two-bites cookies, you’re pretty dang cute but bigger is better. You understand.
If you’ve tried those cookies before, you’re bound to know that today’s cookie pizza is the E-P-I-T-O-M-E of softness and chewiness, loaded to the max with vanilla and a subtle cinnamon flavor, and completely 100% addicting.
This must be love. BOOM. CLAP. The sound in my heart, the beat goes on and on and on and on and on…
BOOM CLAP. You make me feel good, get in MY BELLY get in MY BELLY now.
Okay, I’ll stop. But this pizza DOES make me feel pretty dang awesome.
Makes me want to sing, and trust me you do NOT want to hear that.
I’ll just remedy that problem by stuffing piece after glorious piece of this pizza in moi face.
Problem solved. 😀

Can you believe I’ve never made a big skillet cookie pizza?! I feel like I’ve never really lived now. Must get on this. Skinny jeans and wedding dresses be damned!

Gayle @ Pumpkin 'N Spice says
Ha ha you’re so young so calories don’t count, Sarah! 🙂 This skillet cookie pizza looks amazing! This has always been on’ my list to make, but I just haven’t gotten around to it. I’m loving your oatmeal cookie version! Sounds like it would go perfectly with a big ole scoop of ice cream!
Sarah says
Haha! I wish calories didn’t count. LOL. And YES vanilla ice cream is necessary with this pizza. 😉
Ashley | The Recipe Rebel says
This looks seriously amazing! It’s hard to say what I would do if I were presented with both a sweet and savory pizza… I think the pregnant me might go for the grease and cheese but any other time in my life? Totally a SUGAR person! Not that I’d ever turn down a piece of this!
Sarah says
….That awkward moment when I didn’t even realize you were pregnant. LOL. Congrats, Ashley! And yes, I totally get craving aaall the cheese. 😉 You should just have a cheesy pizza for dinner and cookie pizza for dessert. 😀

Haha right?! Calories are so overrated. Thanks for the pin, Manali!
Kelly - Life Made Sweeter says
Dang girl, this looks super delicious! I would have secretly loved to snatch up all those pieces that kept breaking off while you were shooting the photos for this. Oatmeal cookies are my favorite and when you add chocolate chips and make it into one ginormous pizza you better believe I’d be stuffing my face with this awesomeness! Pinning!
Sarah says
Hahaha! I totally would have loved having someone else to help me eat all those “broken” pieces.—You’re totally welcome to come over any time and help me taste test, girl!

Thalia @ butter and brioche says
Oh my god this cookie pizza look SO delicious. I definitely would recreate the recipe Sarah, but I think I would devour it dangerously too quickly – I have no self control when it comes to chocolate chip cookies!
Sarah says
Haha these is pretty much ZERO self-control with cookie pizzas around. FACT. 😉
Danielle says
I love pizza, but if it has oatmeal and chocolate and sugar in it then I love it more. This looks delicious! Not sure it would even make it through a photo shoot for me 🙂
Sarah says
Haha! That photoshoot was unbelievably hard to get through. 😉 Thanks Danielle!
Kristi @ Inspiration Kitchen says
