Chocolate chip cookie pizza

Ingredients:

Chocolate chips
Dulce de leche or Carmel sauce
Coconut
Pecans
Cookie dough or brownie dough


Directions:

1) preheat oven to 375.

2) spread dough on prepared pizza pan and cook for 10 minutes.

3) Allow dough to cool then spread sauce (Carmel or Dulce de leche) over the pizza  and then decorate with remaining ingredients using chocolate chips last.

Note: we used a chocolate chip cookie dough without chocolate chips, but we added peanut butter, also we did not use coconut or pecans. It was suggested that I use brownie dough for the pizza crust.

If I did it again, I would use peanut butter in place of the Carmel sauce.
