    Chocolate Chip Pizookie Made Straight in the Pan

    Total Time 15 minutes mins
    Course Dessert
    Cuisine American
    Servings 8

    Ingredients
      

    • 5 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
    • ⅓ cup dark brown sugar I like the caramel notes of dark brown but if you use light brown, use ½ cup
    • ¼ cup white sugar
    • 1 large egg
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
    • ½ teaspoon baking soda
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

    Instructions
     

    • Pour melted butter straight in a 9 inch pan.
    • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
    • In a 9 inch pan, pour melted butter along with the sugars and combine with a spatula or wooden spoon.
    • Add the egg, vanilla extract and mix.
    • Next, dump all the dry ingredients and mix until incorporated.
    • Fold in chocolate chips and spread the batter smooth. The cookie dough will be sticky so I use a piece of parchment paper to push the dough to the edge of the pan.
    • Bake the Pizookie at 375 degrees F for 10 minutes or until lightly golden brown around the edges but a bit under baked in the center.
    • Top with vanilla icecream and a nice drizzle of melted chocolate and enjoy!

    Notes

    • Every oven is different. Get to know your oven. When in doubt, always underbake cookies because once you take them out, the residual heat will continue to cook them.

      This was amazing!! I didn't have chocolate chips, so I didn't add it, but it was still super delicious. My sister doesn't like things that are too sweet and she really liked this. It was really easy too. I'm only thirteen and this was a piece of pizookie?

      It was why to dry, I had to add 3 extra tablespoons of butter. I also used M&Ms instead of Chocolate Chips.
      Otherwise very good.

        Hi Stella, you are probably overbaking the cookie. If you think the time I listed is resulting in a dry cookie, then take out the cookie a few minutes early. Ovens are complicated and can vary in how they heat up.

      Disappointing. This pizookie recipe tasted very cake like. There was too much flour and not enough butter, and should definitely use baking powder instead of baking soda.

        I would recommend cooking it a tad less because you want to make sure the Pizookie is slightly underbaked. Ovens usually vary and mine gave me a chewy result. Piece of advice: stay close to the oven.

      what is the difference between a cast iron skillet and a regular skillet?

        The beauty of the cast iron skillet is that it retains heat and so ends up crisping up whatever you are cooking. It's my favorite pan to use when searing meat. But for this dessert, any skillet works:)

        Cast iron conducts heat a lot better, so it's great for searing meat and then slowcooking its done specially steaks.

        Hi Atty! Brown sugar is necessary to get the cookie moist and take on that familiar brown color. The molasses in brown sugar adds a nice note to the cookie, so unfortunately the result would not be the same without it.

      I'm thinking this could be a fun vacation desert. How long do you think it would take to bake if I used mini pie plates instead (might be a little weird for 12 of us to share the same plate). 😛 A muffin tin would be easier to find but I think the size is all wrong.

        Hi Jennifer! In a mini pie plate, I'd give it about 7 to 8 minutes. Really you just want to make sure the edges are firm and the still a little gooey. Hope this helps:) It's delicious!

        Hi Susan, the pan you use and your oven would determine the baking time. For me 10-12 was perfect because I wasn't fully cooking it. How long did you bake it for? Did you you cook it completely?

      I want to thank you for this recipe and the nice video and directions. We made this while visiting our grandmother and she has an efficiency apartment with very limited kitchen equipment so baking is usually out of the question. We were able to make these and it was a really fun activity for my 4 and 6 year old, and everyone enjoyed the giant cookies.

      Hi there,

      I work at BJ's Brewhouse in Coral Springs, FL. Pizookies are my favorite reason about working there as a server lol. This tasted amazing when I made it, I usually just buy the raw ones from work and make them myself at home but....this is so much easier!

      You should definitely try to make the other flavors at home and give the recipes lol.
