What is a Pizookie?

Pizookies are a pizza-sized, gourmet cookie baked to slightly underdone perfection and served a la mode. Gooey. Chocolatey. Decadent. Melty. Warm. This skillet cookie checks all of my ‘dream dessert’ boxes. 

Quicker than baking a batch of cookies and infinitely more special, you will love pizookies for family nights, date nights, girls nights, or even just for the times you need a serious pick-me-up! It is impossible to be disappointed or sad when eating this giant cookie skillet. Seriously, you’re going to want to write sonnets about this one.

What are Pizookies made of?

• Salted butter – I always, always use salted butter. If you don’t have any on hand, you can use unsalted and add an extra pinch of salt to the dough. 
• Brown sugar – We use more brown sugar in this recipe to really flavor the cookie and keep it nice and gooey, just how we want it.
• Granulated sugar
• Egg
• Vanilla – Just a little vanilla to enhance that brown sugar flavor
• All purpose flour
• baking soda
• salt
• Chocolate chips – Use your favorite chocolate chips for this. I love to use Ghirardelli’s bittersweet chocolate chips because they stay SO gooey and work so well paired with the sweet ice cream. 
• Flakey sea salt for garnish

Toppings:

*Add whatever sounds good to you! Here are some tried-and-true ideas!

• Ice cream (Vanilla or any other flavor you fancy) 
• Chocolate sauce 
• Nuts
• Caramel 
• Peanut Butter (warmed & drizzled) 
• Additional chocolate chips (or peanut butter chips!) 
• Whipped cream etc.

How to Make a Pizookie

1. Preheat the oven to 325° F.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar. Mix until it is well combined, light in color and fluffy in texture (about 2-3 minutes). 
3. Scrape the sides of the bowl and add in the egg and vanilla. Mix until combined.
4. Add the flour, baking soda and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms. 
5. Next, add in the chocolate chips, mixing until evenly distributed.
6. Lightly press the cookie dough into a 12 inch cast iron skillet (or another oven safe skillet).
7. Bake at 325° F for 32-37 minutes (mine took exactly 35 min). The cookie dough will rise up in the pan and the top will become golden brown.
8. Allow the skillet to cool for 5 minutes before topping with a generous portion of ice cream, chocolate sauce, whipped cream and anything else you can think of!
9. Grab a spoon, dig in and enjoy!
