Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

2 sticks (226 grams) unsalted butter
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 large egg yolk, at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
1 cup (200 grams) lightly packed light brown sugar
2 1/2 cups (318 grams) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon fine sea salt

Chocolate

1 1/4 cups (213 grams) semisweet chocolate chips
2 ounces (57 grams) semisweet chocolate, chopped into chunks

Vanilla ice cream

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F to prepare for baking the pizookie.
Melt Butter: Place a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat and melt the butter completely.
Mix Sugars and Eggs: Remove the skillet from heat and pour the melted butter into a large bowl. Add granulated sugar and brown sugar, whisking together thoroughly. Allow the mixture to cool before whisking in the eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Add Dry Ingredients: Using a rubber spatula, fold in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and sea salt until a soft dough forms.
Incorporate Chocolate: Carefully mix in the semisweet chocolate chips and chopped chunks, reserving a few pieces to sprinkle on top of the dough.
Transfer Dough: Pour the cookie dough back into the same cast iron skillet. Dot the top with the reserved chocolate chunks for garnish.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center remains gooey to your liking.
Rest and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the pizookie stand for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve warm topped with scoops of vanilla ice cream.

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.
