Pizookie Recipe

For those days when all you need is a cookie in the form of a pizza… I give you the Pizookie!

Imagine a mega chocolate chip cookie baked in a cast iron skillet and then served with ice cream on top. Pizza + Cookie = Pizookie.

As a child growing up in Tucson there was a restaurant called Oreganos we used to always go to that claimed to be the inventor of the pizza cookie! Technically they did not call it a Pizookie. BJ’s Restaurant and Bar I believe came up with the name Pizookie and has made it famous through their restaurant chain nation wide.

It’s very simple – cookie dough, a skillet, and some ice cream. But in order to make the best Pizookie I suggest using my fav chocolate chip cookie recipe and voila! Game time.

Take your cookie dough (pre bought or homemade) and transfer to a skillet, spread evenly and bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 22-24 min. (Full directions down below). Top with ice cream and you are set.

It’s best served straight out of the skillet with 4-5 forks for you and your friends so everyone can go to town. You can also eat it on your own, something I may or may not have done on more than one occasion.
