Description
A warm, skillet-baked cookie that’s crispy at the edges and ooey-gooey in the center—topped with melty chocolate chips and ready for a scoop of ice cream. This pizookie is effortlessly indulgent and perfect for sharing (or not!).
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Unsalted butter (Softened to room temperature)
- 3/4 cup Light brown sugar (Packed)
- 1 large Egg (Room temperature)
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups All-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp Baking soda
- 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips (Plus extra for sprinkling)
Instructions
Preheat & Prep:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly grease a 10-inch oven-safe skillet.
Cream Butter & Sugar:
- In a mixing bowl, use an electric mixer (or whisk) to beat butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add Egg & Vanilla:
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
Fold in Chocolate Chips:
- Gently fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips, reserving a few to sprinkle on top.
Bake the Pizookie:
- Press the dough evenly into the prepared skillet.
- Sprinkle reserved chocolate chips over the surface.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden and center is still soft and gooey.
Cool & Serve:
- Let the pizookie rest 3–5 minutes in the skillet.
- Serve warm, topped with scoops of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate sauce if desired.
Notes
-
Underbake Slightly: For maximum gooeyness, pull the pizookie when the center still jiggles.
-
Flavor Variations: Stir in chopped nuts, white chocolate chips, or a swirl of caramel before baking.
-
Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare dough and refrigerate in the skillet; bake straight from fridge, adding 2 extra minutes if needed.
-
Skillet Substitute: If you don’t have an oven-safe skillet, press dough into an 8×8-inch baking pan and bake the same time.
-
Leftovers: Store covered at room temperature up to 1 day; reheat gently in a warm oven.
