Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Base

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Dough Preparation

  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together unsalted butter and sugar using a stand mixer on medium speed until fluffy and light in color, about 1 minute.
  • Beat in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until just combined.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until fully incorporated.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spread the cookie dough evenly onto a pizza pan, forming a round pizza shape about 1/4 inch thick. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  • Remove the cookie base from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.

Frosting and Assembly

  • In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and softened butter. Beat until smooth, then gradually mix in powdered sugar and vanilla extract until fluffy.
  • Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled cookie base. Top with diced apples and chopped pecans.
  • Finish by drizzling caramel sauce over the top.
