Best Homemade Pizookie

This recipe for the Best Homemade Pizookie is every bit as delectable as the infamous restaurant favorite. Not only is the word pizookie fun to say, making your very own homemade pizookie is quick, easy and a whole lot of fun!

What is a Pizookie?

If you aren’t familiar with the pizookie, it is a pizza-sized classic chocolate chip cookie baked in a skillet. A pizookie is typically served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and topped off with a drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce (or both!). Plus, you can either make one larger pizookie and serve it up pizza slice style, or divide the dough among several smaller, personal-sized skillets.

I made the individual versions for a recent family dinner. And boy, it was a huge hit! These little skillets are just so darned cute. And giving each person their very own pizookie meant there was no fighting over who got the larger slice.

Yep, this homemade pizookie recipe really is the ultimate dessert. Because according to my kids, combining pizza with cookies is pretty much the best invention ever.

Customize Your Homemade Pizookie

Ready to go beyond the classic chocolate chip pizookie? Then try changing up the ingredients to create your own custom version. Here are some great swaps and additions to try:

• Instead of chocolate chips, use white chocolate chips, butterscotch ships, or mini M&M candies.
• Add in chopped walnuts, pecans or macadamia nuts.
• Sprinkle the top of your pizookie with sea salt flakes before baking.
• Serve with chocolate ice cream or salted caramel flavored ice cream.
• Make it a pizookie sundae: top with whipped cream, hot fudge, rainbow sprinkles and (of course) a cherry.
