Homemade Pizookie Recipe
Description
The Homemade Pizookie Recipe uses a simple cookie batter made by melting butter and mixing it with brown and granulated sugars, then incorporating egg yolk, vanilla, flour, baking soda, and salt. Chocolate chips are stirred in and the dough is spread evenly into a lightly greased cast iron skillet sized between 6 and 8 inches. Baking the pizookie at 350°F produces crisp edges while keeping the center soft and just set, creating contrasting textures between chewy and crunchy.
This warm skillet cookie is a rich, sweet dessert that pairs very well with cold ice cream, which softens and balances the warm dough. The recipe allows for some flexibility in baking time depending on skillet size, recommending a longer bake for smaller skillets and a shorter time for larger ones to achieve the right balance of crisp edges and a tender middle.
The pizookie offers a shareable dessert perfect for casual gatherings or a comforting treat. The use of a cast iron skillet ensures even heat distribution, resulting in a nicely browned crust and a luscious soft center. Preparing it in the skillet also simplifies serving and cleanup.
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup butter unsalted
- ⅓ cup brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- ½ cup all-purpose flour + 2 tablespoons, fluffed and levelled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup chocolate chips or chocolate chunks
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 6-8" cast iron skillet.
- In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter on high in 15 second intervals.
- Add in the sugars and mix with a spoon until combined.
- Add in egg, stirring quickly to incorporate.
- Add flour, vanilla, baking soda, salt and mix with a spoon until completely combined.
- Stir in chocolate and spread evenly into prepared skillet (if you like, throw some extra chocolate on top!).
- Bake for 20-22 minutes* or until edges are crispy and center is just set.
- Let cool slightly before topping with ice cream and serving.
Notes
- For a 6-inch skillet, bake up to 25 minutes to ensure a fully cooked center with crisp edges.
- For an 8-inch skillet, 18-20 minutes of baking time is sufficient for a slightly oozy center and crispy perimeter.
- Lightly grease the skillet to prevent sticking and promote even browning.
- Let the pizookie cool slightly before topping with ice cream to avoid melting it immediately.
