Pizookie

This recipe creates a large, warm, gooey cookie topped with ice cream, just like BJ's famous pizookie

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs (room temperature)
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Ice cream for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet (or round cake pan) well.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter for about 30 seconds until soft. Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla; cream together.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Gradually mix in the flour mixture until combined.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  7. Spread the cookie dough evenly in the skillet, filling about half the depth to allow rising.
  8. Bake for 27-30 minutes until lightly golden on top (less time for a gooey center).
  9. Let cool slightly, then top with ice cream and serve warm.

Notes

  • For variations, you can try a double chocolate pizookie with cocoa powder and hot fudge sauce, or cookies and cream flavors
