Instructions

Mix the dough: Using a hand mixer, cream together the peanut butter, softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and well blended. Beat in the egg, milk, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the peanut butter mixture and mix until a soft dough forms. Stir in the Reese’s Pieces, reserving a few to sprinkle on top later.
Shape the cookie pizza: Grease a 14-inch pizza pan well. Press the cookie dough evenly into the pan to form a uniform crust. Sprinkle the reserved Reese’s Pieces over the top of the dough.
Bake the cookie base: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the cookie dough in the pizza pan for about 11 minutes, until the edges start to set but the cookie is not fully baked.
Add marshmallows and finish baking: Remove the pizza pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle miniature marshmallows evenly over the partially baked cookie. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-6 minutes, or until the marshmallows are lightly browned and puffed. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before decorating.
Prepare the chocolate drizzle: Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips and shortening in a small glass bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir, then continue microwaving in 15-second intervals, stirring each time, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
Prepare the orange drizzle: In a small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar and water (or milk) until smooth. Add the yellow and red food coloring drops, stirring until the orange color is uniform.
Decorate the cookie pizza: Drizzle the melted chocolate and orange icing over the cooled cookie pizza. Optionally, drizzle caramel topping over as well. Use a spoon or place drizzles into small sandwich bags with a snipped corner to control the drizzle application.

Notes

For easier spreading, allow the dough to slightly soften at room temperature if too firm.
Adjust the quantity of Reese’s Pieces and marshmallows based on your topping preference.
Use milk or water in the orange drizzle according to desired consistency.
Let the cookie cool completely before applying drizzles to prevent melting and running.
Caramel topping is optional but adds a delicious richness to the final dessert.
Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
