It is our daughter Alison's birthday today! I got this recipe from her and am sharing it here on her special day. This is enough cookie dough for two pizza pans. I only made one and used the other half of dough to make 2 dozen regular sized cookies.
Cookie Dough:
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 1/2 cup butter
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 2 eggs
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Cream together shortening, butter, and sugars until very creamy.
- Mix in eggs.
- Add combined dry ingredients and stir until blended.
- Pat 1/2 of the dough into a 13" pizza pan.
- Bake at 350º for 12 minutes. Allow to cool.
- 250 gr / 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 - 4 serving size package of instant chocolate pudding
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 1/2 cups whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons icing sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 tablespoons skor bits
- Once cookie crust is cooled, spread with softened cream cheese.
- Whisk together chocolate pudding and milk, allow pudding to set before spreading over cream cheese layer.
- Whip cream with icing sugar and vanilla until firm peaks form and carefully spread over chocolate layer.
- Sprinkle skor bits over top and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Serves: 12 to 16, depending how generous you want your pieces to be.
