This easy cookie cake is made with a sugar cookie mix and topped like a magic bar with chocolate, coconut, and sweetened condensed milk! This is the best cookie pizza for any party.
Well heeeey there! I made you another version of a magic bar. Are you surprised? They are just so darn easy that it’s really, really hard not to make a new version every single day.
One of these days I’m going to figure out how to make a single-serve magic bar. Because, as much as I’d like to think it is, a regular sized one is not single-serve. Even if I did attack it with a fork.
A few weeks ago I asked you to comment and tell me what you’d like to see me make this year on Crazy for Crust. I am having so much fun going through all your answers. Some of them were very detailed, and many of them gave me so many ideas!
One reader asked that I make a dessert pizza, which I was delighted to fulfill because one, I just bought myself a pizza pan (which I’ve been pining over foreeeeeever) and two, I had these cool superfun tools waiting for me to use them!
For this pizza, I decided to use a sugar cookie crust. I used a pouch mix, but you could also use a roll of refrigerated dough. White chocolate and macadamia immediately came to mind…as did coconut. I added the Valentine M&Ms for color, and well, because everything is awash in red and pink these days.
These bars are really, really good. The sugar cookie base gives these a good amount of sweetness, the coconut adds texture, and the macadamia nuts counterbalance all the chocolate. These are probably my favorite magic bar so far!
And I think cutting them with Bob made them even better.

White Chocolate Macadamia Magic Pizza
Ingredients
Sugar Cookie Pizza Dough
- 1 (17.5 ounce) packet sugar cookie mix (see note) plus the ingredients called for:
- ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter , softened
- 1 large egg
Toppings
- 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut (the kind in the baking aisle)
- 1 ½ cups (255g) white chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped macadamia nuts
- ¾ cup M&Ms
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 12” pizza pan with cooking spray. (You can also use a 9×13” pan, covered with foil and sprayed with cooking spray.)
- Stir together cookie mix, butter, and egg in a large bowl. Press evenly into your prepared pan.
- Sprinkle the coconut, white chocolate chips, macadamia nuts, and M&Ms over the sugar cookie mixture, in that order. (Just be sure your coconut is on the bottom so it does not burn).
- Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top of the candy.
- Bake for 23-28 minutes until golden. (Mine took 25 minutes.) Cool completely before slicing.
Recipe Notes
- Sugar Cookie Mix: I used a pouch mix (Betty Crocker). Be sure to use a similar size (no more than 17.5 ounces) if you’re not using Betty Crocker. Use the ingredients called for on the pouch/box (Betty Crocker uses 1/2 cup butter and 1 egg).
- You can also swap one 16-ounce tube of sugar cookie dough (refrigerated prepared).

Dare I say that I have never had a “magic” bar of any kind?! I think I need to remedy that ASAP!
*jaw drop* whaaaa? You must remedy that!
This looks incredible. I smile in the kitchen when I can get absorbed and lose myself in chopping, measuring, stirring,meta.
Me too! I love when I can just lose myself in it. It’s therapeutic.
This looks so amazing. I can’t get over how cute and colorful your gadgets are. What makes me smile in the kitchen is when the BOY and I are working together on Sunday morning chili or dinner. We have music and are stepping on each other’s toes (because our kitchen is tiny) and we always end up laughing…especially if there is some wine!
I used to love that too! I should make that a date night… 🙂
What makes me smile?
I have my grandmother’s measuring spoons hanging up on my kitchen wall. When she died they were one of the special items that I got from her house. I smile when I look at them remembering all the so wonderful times we had cooking together.
What a great memory Donna! How nice that you can have them as a reminder. 🙂
Helping my mom cook makes me smile in the kitchen!
I love that too!
