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

Units Scale
  • 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:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly grease a 10-inch oven-safe skillet.

Cream Butter & Sugar:

  1. 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:

  1. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Combine Dry Ingredients:

  1. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  2. Gradually add to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.

Fold in Chocolate Chips:

  1. Gently fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips, reserving a few to sprinkle on top.

Bake the Pizookie:

  1. Press the dough evenly into the prepared skillet.
  2. Sprinkle reserved chocolate chips over the surface.
  3. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden and center is still soft and gooey.

Cool & Serve:

  1. Let the pizookie rest 3–5 minutes in the skillet.
  2. 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.
