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.

Omg this was the best skillet cookie I have ever had. I rarely leave reviews, but it was that good. Giardelli chips are a must.
This was very easy and delicious, really yummy warm with vanilla ice cream on top! Mine lasted for several days and still tasted great. Will definitely make it again.
My husband and I have made this recipe MANY times since discovering it. Delicious and so easy to make! We added peanut M&Ms on top once. Amazing!
(The cookie solidifies as it cools so if you want it gooey, eat it while it’s hot)
I have 3″ mini cast iron skillets. I would love to try this recipe, and am wondering what the adjustment in baking time would be? Do you have a suggestion? My mini skillets are fairly shallow, at about 3/4″. This is a great idea to use them for cookies. Can’t wait to hear your opinion on the baking time.
It’ll probably be about 10 minutes or so – check them after 8!
Had a 6.25 inch skillet and followed the recipe exactly. It baked over and I had a huge burned on mess in the bottom of the oven. At least what was left in the skillet tasted good.
That’s so strange – it shouldn’t grow that much. Did you make any changes? How deep was your skillet?
The same thing just happened to me! I smelt something burning and went to check on the cookie and it spilled over the side of the skillet and is all over the bottom of my oven 😞
I’m sorry that happened. What are the dimensions of your skillet?
Baked for 25 mins and was still squishy? Thought the first time was a mistake, baked again, and the same thing happened. ):
Perfect, just perfect! I didn’t have brown sugar, so I substituted with maple syrup, but kept everything else the same…well
I did top with ice cream instead of
Reddi-Wip 😏
I’m so excited to try this! I bought a little cast iron skillet months ago with making a cookie the reason but I never looked for a recipe. So today, since I’m quarantine bored… I decided to look. I couldn’t remember the size of my pan and didn’t want to get up off the couch (a.k.a. office chair substitute) and go look so I clicked on your link. It took me to the Amazon website and there was my pan with the old “you ordered this blah blah blah”. I’ll be making this when I get home from my first hair appointment in 2 months… priorities. 🙂
This was amazing!! We got a mini skillet for Christmas and were looking for just the right recipe. I had a little extra dough because my skillet is a little smaller. I made my son a couple of cookies and the skillet cookie! Wow! He said they were the best he’s ever had, and I agree! These were so good! Thank you very much for sharing!
Fast and easy desert. I don’t have to worry about eating leftovers, because it’s alway gone. Perfect for two- four people.
