Description
Pizookie is a warm, gooey, and indulgent dessert that combines a giant, freshly baked cookie with cold, creamy ice cream. Soft and chewy in the middle with crispy edges, it’s the ultimate treat for any occasion.
Ingredients
- For the cookie:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips (or your preferred mix-ins like nuts, M&Ms, etc.)
- For serving:
- 1–2 scoops vanilla ice cream (or flavor of your choice)
- Optional: chocolate sauce, whipped cream, or sprinkles for topping
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or oven-safe baking dish.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips (or your preferred mix-ins).
- Spread the cookie dough evenly into the prepared skillet or baking dish.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (it’s okay if it’s a little soft in the middle—this keeps the cookie gooey).
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Top with a scoop of ice cream and your favorite toppings, such as chocolate sauce, whipped cream, or sprinkles, and serve warm.
Notes
- For variations, try different cookie doughs like oatmeal raisin, peanut butter, or snickerdoodle.
- Add a cup of chopped nuts for some extra crunch, or fresh fruit like berries for a fruity twist.
- For a fudgy version, use brownie batter instead of cookie dough.
- If you don’t have a cast-iron skillet, any oven-safe dish can be used; adjust baking time accordingly.
- Reheat the Pizookie in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-10 minutes if you want to enjoy it again.
