Homemade Pizookie is SO GOOD!

Who doesn’t love a warm, gooey on the inside, chocolate chip cookie recipe? This giant pizza cookie bakes in just minutes, and can be served fresh on the pan itself! The flavor of this giant cookie is just like the classic recipe you love from BJ‘s restaurant – with a drizzle of chocolate sauce and scoops of vanilla ice cream on top, you’re going to absolutely LOVE this. Individual pizookies are great to make in single serve dishes too for a party.

Important Ingredients Needed

  • Butter: melted unsalted butter
  • Sugar: we’ll use both granulated and brown sugar. I typically use light brown sugar but dark brown sugar can be substituted.
  • Egg: just the yolk – since this is a smaller recipe you won’t need the whole egg
  • Chocolate chips: mini chips are what I love to use, but you can also use regular semi-sweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, chocolate chunks, even white chocolate chips.

How to make a Pizookie Recipe

  1. Melt the butter in a large bowl then stir in both sugars.
  2. Add egg yolk, vanilla extract, baking soda and salt to the mixture. Carefully add in the flour.
  3. Mix in the chocolate chips or other additions (you can add m&m’s or Reese’s Pieces)
  4. Press the cookie dough into a mini cast iron skillet for about 18-24 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center no longer looks translucent. 
  5. Serve warm, with lots of whipped cream or ice cream and sprinkles.

Expert Tips

  • I’m a huge fan of ice cream and cookies together, so feel free to top this skillet cookie recipe off with your favorite ice cream! 
  • If you don’t have a skillet, you can use a 6” cake pan, and 8×4” loaf pan, or make individual cookies in a muffin pan or ramekins. I also have a recipe for a traditional cookie cake to bake in a 9-inch pan?
  • The cookie will fall slightly after baking, as it cools. This is normal. The more underbaked you make it the more it will fall (which is totally fine by me, we love this a bit underbaked and gooey).
  • Variations: Feel free to add pecans or walnuts, peanut butter chips or chopped chocolate bars to this easy dessert. We love serving it with hot fudge sauce or caramel sauce too.

FAQs

How do I make a pizookie recipe without a skillet?

If you don’t have a skillet, you can use a 6” cake pan, and 8×4” loaf pan, or make individual cookies in a muffin pan.

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes, you can! Just refrigerate the dough in a bowl and cover the top with a plastic wrap. Or store in an airtight container.

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. You will need a 6.25” mini cast iron skillet to make this cookie as shown. If you don’t have a skillet, you can use a 6” cake pan, and 8×4” loaf pan, or make individual cookies in a muffin pan. If you are using a skillet, cake, or loaf pan, spray it with nonstick cooking spray. If you’re using a muffin pan, use liners for easy removal and serving (it will probably make about 4 muffin sized cookies).
  • Melt butter in a large bowl. Stir in both sugars, then egg yolk, extract, baking soda and salt. Carefully stir in the flour then mix in the chocolate chips.
  • Optional: add 1/3 cup of ANY kind of chips or candy instead of the mini chips called for, if you wish.
  • Bake the mini cast iron skillet for about 18-24 minutes, or until the edges are puffed and the center no longer looks translucent. Using another pan will affect baking time.
  • Serve warm, with lots of whipped cream or ice cream and sprinkles.

Recipe Notes

The cookie will fall slightly after baking, as it cools. This is normal. The more underbaked you make it the more it will fall (which is totally fine by me, we love this a bit underbaked and gooey).

  1. This cookie is so buttery, chewy and delicious 😋 Also, easy to make. For a chocolate chip cookie fix, this is a keeper

  2. Any idea if I could put all the dry ingredients in a mason jar for gift giving? Does the sequence of adding melted butter and egg yolk make a difference?

  3. Hi! I’m thinking of making this in a 6inch cake pan. Could I pls know how much the height of the pan should be? I don’t want it to overflow

    1. At least 1-inch high is fine, the skillet I’m using in the photos is only about 5-6 inches around.

  4. Absolutely love hearing from
    You snd trying your recipes, which will always be better when you make them lol. Thanks for sharing though
