How to Make a Chocolate Chip Pizookie in a Skillet
Make this amazing BJ’s Restaurant pizookie dessert right at home. Just follow these easy steps to make this homemade pizookie.
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Place a cast iron skillet in the oven so that it heats up as the oven does.
- Make the cookie dough. In a large bowl, mix together the butter and brown sugar. Stir in the eggs and vanilla. Stir in the baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add the flour and mix until no longer lumpy. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Add the cookie dough to the skillet. Spray your skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Spread the cookie dough into your skillet.
- Bake in the oven. Bake for 30 – 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted about 1” from the edge of the pan comes out clean. The edges should be set and golden brown.
Tips to Follow When You Make a Pizookie
- Cool before eating: when your chocolate chip skillet cookie first comes out of the oven it will be very hot! Handle the skillet gently and let it cool for several minutes before eating, if you want to eat it while still warm. If you want it completely cooled, let it sit for 20-30 minutes to bring it to room temperature. Let it cool for less time if you still want the center of the cookie to be ooey gooey.
- How to know when it’s done: you’ll know your pizookie is done when a toothpick inserted 1” from the edge comes out clean. The edges of the pizookie should be set and the whole cookie will turn light brown.
What to Serve with a Pizookie
There are so many fun toppings you can serve with your Pizookie. Serve it topped with ice cream and more chocolate chips, white chocolate or butterscotch chips, hot fudge, chocolate syrup or sprinkles.
For extra fun, you can divide this large chocolate chip cookie into individual skillets and serve in the skillets. This cookie is amazing however you serve it!
Can I Make this Recipe Without a Skillet?
Yes, this recipe is easy to make in a round cake pan or in a pie pan as well!
