Pizza + Cookie = Pizookie

We have many restaurants around us that have become favorites because they all serve the same delicious dessert – PIZOOKIE!

What is a Pizookie? A Pizookie is a cookie baked in a large circle like a pizza.

Since first having these long ago, we now make our own pizookie recipe at home using our favorite cookie dough (chocolate chip) and purposely under-bake it in a cast iron skillet. The cookie is nice and crisp on the edges and deliciously gooey in the center. Then, we top it with a generous pile of ice cream. It’s INCREDIBLE!

Top it with caramel sauce or chocolate syrup or use another dough base like our red velvet cookies or white chocolate macadamia dough for more flavors!

Notes

Individual servings. Divide the dough into ramekins, mini pie pans, or individual pizza cookie skillets. Press the dough to about 1/2-1-inch thick. Reduce the bake time to about 6-8 minutes at 350°F, or until the edges have turned golden brown and the center is still gooey. 

Mix and match. Make the dough and then divide it in half. You can then add different mix-ins to each section of dough before pressing them side by side in the skillet.

Prep ahead. Premake the dough and keep it stored in the fridge for 1-3 days or freeze it for up to 3 months. Form the dough into a ball or log and wrap it tightly with plastic wrap. If freezing it, wrap it again with aluminum foil. 

Store. Scoop the ice cream off the leftovers, and place the remaining cookie in an airtight container. Keep it in the fridge for 1-2 days. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the Pizookie in a skillet or pan and heat for 4-5 minutes, or until warm.
