    Enjoy this crispy-soft, ooey-gooey, over-sized chocolate chip cookie straight out of the oven and with a scoop of vanilla ice cream! Baking it in a cast iron skillet gives it a perfectly crispy outer edge and a soft center. This “pizookie” is a cookie lover’s dream come true!

    Why This Recipe Works

    You may or may not know that I am a bit of a cookie fanatic. I think about cookies far too often, mostly because they are delicious but also because there are about nine million different ways to make them. I have logged hundreds of hours merely thinking about cookies, which is proof that the options are literally endless.

    Sometimes, though, simplest is best. The good ol’ chocolate chip cookie is the most loved cookie for a reason. This giant Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie (also called a Pizookie) is a cookie lover’s dream. The batter is ridiculously easy to make and you probably have all of the ingredients in your kitchen.

    Dump it into a cast iron skillet, bake for 20 minutes and you have yourself some serious cookie perfection. The outer edge gets nice and crispy while the center of the cookie stays soft and perfect.

    What is a pizookie?

    “Pizookie” is the combination of two delicious words: pizza and cookie! It has the ingredients of a cookie, but is shaped and cut like a pizza.

    How To Make a Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie

    Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and coat a cast-iron skillet with cooking spray. Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment(or a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer), combine the butter, sugars, eggs and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed until creamy and free of lumps.

    Step 2

    In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda andsalt. Mix well. Gradually add to the butter-sugar mixture and beat onmedium speed until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips/chunks.

    Step 3

    Spread the batter in an even layer inside the prepared cast iron pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until edges are golden brown and center is cooked through. Top with ice cream and chocolate syrup and serve!

    Do I Need A Cast Iron Skillet for This Recipe

    Feel free to use any oven-safe skillet, but a cast iron skillet will bake this giant cookie to absolute perfection. If you have cast iron, I recommend using it!

    Does The Dough Need to Be Chilled

    You can! But you don’t have to. I find that it is easier to spread it in the pan when the batter is not chilled, but the cookie will turn out great either way.

    Can I Replace Chocolate Chips

    Absolutely. As long as the extras equal approximately 2 cups, you can use chocolate or candies of your choice (or a combination). Any variety of chocolate chip, caramel bits, M&M’s candies and chopped candy bars will all taste DELICIOUS!
