Ingredients
Cookie Dough
- ½ cup butter
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Topping
- Vanilla Ice Cream
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking your Pizzookie.
- Melt Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Once melted, transfer it into a larger mixing bowl to prepare for combining with other ingredients.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the dark brown sugar to the melted butter and whisk together until fully combined. Incorporate the vanilla extract and egg, whisking thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, baking powder, kosher salt, and baking soda. Slowly add these dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until a uniform cookie dough forms. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
- Prepare Skillet: Lightly spray a medium-sized oven-safe skillet with baking spray to prevent sticking. Transfer the cookie dough into the skillet and spread it out evenly to ensure uniform baking.
- Bake: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 22-24 minutes. The cookie should be golden around the edges yet still slightly gooey in the center for the perfect texture.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the skillet from the oven and let the Pizzookie rest for a few minutes. Top with scoops of vanilla ice cream just before serving for a warm and chilled contrast that delights the palate.
Notes
- For convenience, prepare extra cookie dough when baking cookies and freeze it. This makes it easy to thaw and quickly bake a Pizzookie with minimal cleanup.
