Tips & Substitutions
For a chewier texture, consider using a mix of brown and white sugar, as it enhances moisture. If you're out of butterscotch chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips can be a great substitute. Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature for easy mixing. Incorporating nuts like pecans and walnuts adds a great crunch to the cookie.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these delicious pizza cookies warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for a delightful dessert. They pair beautifully with Hot Cocoa Mix for a cozy treat. For a fun twist, try drizzling caramel sauce over the cookies before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these cookies without eggs?
Yes, you can replace the egg with a flaxseed meal or applesauce for a vegan option. Use 1 tablespoon of flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water or 1/4 cup of applesauce to mimic the binding properties of the egg.
What can I substitute for peanut butter?
If you need a peanut-free option, try using almond butter or sunbutter as a substitute. Both will provide a similar texture and flavor to the cookie while accommodating different dietary needs.
How can I make these cookies more chocolatey?
You can increase the amount of chocolate chips to 1 cup or add cocoa powder to the dough. For every cup of flour, consider adding 1/3 cup of cocoa powder to enhance the chocolate flavor.
