Chocolate Chip Pizza Cookie (aka Pizookie)

Ahhh, the pizza cookie. Bless the kind soul who invented this dreamy cookie in a skillet. It’s sheer perfection when you consider all that it is: doughy, chocolatey, creamy (ice cream), warm but cold (again, with the ice cream)… are you with us? We used to order pizza cookies to go from a place called Oregano’s. We convinced ourselves that they were impossible to re-create at home to avoid making them seven nights a week and gaining a pound per day. Then we bought these cute little individual skillets and our resolve softened…

This chocolate chip cookie recipe is THE perfect one for skillet cookies and “normal” cookies alike. It makes for a thick, soft individual pizza cookies where the middles don’t sink in – they retain their thickness and are just the perfect texture for your gooey enjoyment. Both milk and semisweet chips make for great balance of chocolates.

Tip (unsponsored): We found our mini 6-inch skillets at World Market. At $7.99, they are the cheapest we have found.

Let your kids dump cookie dough ingredients into the mixer. There’s nothing like the smell of adding vanilla to a batter that brings back fond (and sweet) memories of baking with those you love! Beware of sneak-thieves:

We found this recipe titled “Kristi’s Famous Chocolate Chip Cookies” in an old church cookbook. We have adapted it slightly.
