Pizookie Recipe

Introduction

The pizookie is a delightful blend of pizza and cookie, a warm, gooey dessert served straight from the skillet. Perfect for sharing or enjoying solo, this chocolate chip skillet cookie pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

• 2 sticks (226 grams) unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
• 1 cup (200 grams) lightly packed light brown sugar
• 2 large eggs, at room temperature
• 1 large egg yolk, at room temperature
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 1/2 cups (318 grams) all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 1 1/4 cups (213 grams) semisweet chocolate chips
• 2 ounces (57 grams) semisweet chocolate, chopped into chunks
• Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
2. Step 2: In a 10-inch cast iron skillet set over medium heat, melt the butter completely.
3. Step 3: Remove the skillet from heat and pour the melted butter into a large mixing bowl. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar, then whisk to combine. Allow the mixture to cool slightly before whisking in the eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla until fully incorporated.
4. Step 4: Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the flour, baking soda, and salt until a soft dough forms. Then carefully mix in the chocolate chips and chocolate chunks, reserving a few chunks to sprinkle on top of the dough.
5. Step 5: Pour the dough back into the same skillet, smoothing it evenly. Dot the reserved chocolate chunks over the surface as a garnish.
6. Step 6: Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the center remains gooey to your liking. Remove from the oven and let it stand for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
7. Step 7: Serve warm with scoops of vanilla ice cream on top for an irresistible treat.

Tips & Variations

• Using a room-temperature egg and egg yolk helps the batter blend more smoothly and results in a tender texture.
• For an extra indulgent flavor, try mixing in chunks of dark or milk chocolate instead of semisweet.
• If you don’t have a cast iron skillet, a heavy oven-safe skillet or pie dish will work as well.
• Add a pinch of cinnamon or a sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top before baking for a subtle flavor boost.

Storage

Store any leftover pizookie in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the microwave for 20-30 seconds before serving to restore warmth and gooeyness. For longer storage, wrap tightly and freeze for up to 1 month; thaw at room temperature before reheating.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of chocolate in this recipe?

Absolutely! Feel free to substitute semisweet chocolate chips with dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or even white chocolate depending on your preference.

Why does the pizookie need to be slightly gooey in the center?

The gooey center is key to the pizookie’s signature texture and taste, offering a warm, melty contrast to the crisp edges that makes it so irresistible.

Notes

• Use a cast iron skillet for best even baking and a crispy edge with a soft center.
• Let the butter-sugar mixture cool slightly before adding eggs to prevent cooking them.
• Adjust bake time to achieve your preferred level of gooeyness in the center.
• Room temperature eggs help create a smoother batter and better texture.
• Serve immediately with vanilla ice cream for the perfect warm and cold contrast.
