Today I’m sharing a homemade pizookie recipe that’s specially made for two. This is a restaurant style skillet cookie you’re going to LOVE – it’s warm and gooey and perfect with a scoop of ice cream. Plus you can vary the add ins and toppings to your liking!
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
- Melt the butter in a large bowl then stir in both sugars.
- Add egg yolk, vanilla extract, baking soda and salt to the mixture. Carefully add in the flour.
- Mix in the chocolate chips or other additions (you can add m&m’s or Reese’s Pieces)
- 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.
- 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
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.
Yes, you can! Just refrigerate the dough in a bowl and cover the top with a plastic wrap. Or store in an airtight container.
Homemade Pizookie Recipe
Ingredients
- ¼ cup (57g) butter , melted
- 8 teaspoons (38g) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (50g) packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (62g) all purpose flour
- ⅓ cup (56g) mini chocolate chips or other chocolate chips or candy
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.

Wow, this looks great (although I can’t understand why anyone would not want a dozen or more of these). 🙂
Could i split this recipe in half/quarter? What could I sub the for the egg yolk?
You can split it if you need to, but I’m not sure what to sub for the egg yolk other than using one of those eggs in a carton and measuring out teaspoons of it. Otherwise, make them in a muffin pan instead of a skillet and freeze what you don’t eat!
I love a good cast iron skillet, and I have been wanting to pick up these mini ones for a while now.
Skillet cookies are just the best, but sometimes I like them a little too much and find myself doing extra planks, which definitely doesn’t make me a happy camper. ? So this is just about my perfect size for a skillet cookie.
I love that this is a small portion cookie! I have a skillet cookie recipe but it’s made in a 9 or 10″ size skillet and it makes a ton. You need to make it for a dinner party and everyone helps dig in whereas your version would be perfect for just me 🙂 and a kiddo to help. Love this!
Cookies always bring a smile to my face! I love that this is a scaled down recipe for two – there are very few times when I actually need 4 dozen cookies, lol. Sometimes I toss extra cookie dough into ramekins and turn that into cookie sundaes for two…or one, depends on the day 🙂 I hope you guys have a fun Valentine’s Day!
Is it bad that I think if I made this it would be “for one” 😉
In my house, this skillet cookie would only serve 1. Me. I’m not sharing. 😉
Skillet cookies are my favorite! I love this small batch version, Dorothy! Just what I need to get me through this cold weather that’s headed my way!
Dorothy – I love this post. I’m glad that you’re trying to find happiness and make time for fun. I didn’t quite make resolutions this year, but I’ve definitely set some long and short term goals for myself. So far, I’ve been diligent about taking vitamins, doing yoga 1-2 times a week, and taking care of my body in the form of exercise and no drinking. I’m totally adoring this cookie skillet. In fact, I was just informed that I have mini skillets that I haven’t used yet in my house. I have to bust them out for this treat.
The happiness thing is definitely true. I try really hard to focus on my family and all the joy, and some days it’s easier. Other days, work gets distracting and there’s one crisis after another. But I could get down with working less and watching home shows!
This cookie is just lovely. Why bake a whole batch, really? You can eat this, do cardio with girlfriends and lead a happy and balanced life!
