Ingredients

• Flour: All-purpose flour works great here! To make a gluten-free pizookie, you can use a gluten-free replacement flour.
• Baking Soda: Baking soda helps the cookie to have a bit of rise in the oven!
• Salt: To balance the flavors.
• Old Fashioned Oats: Old-fashioned oats add a chewy, delicious texture.
• Butter: Use room temperature butter! This is essential to being able to cream the butter and sugars together.
• Brown Sugar & Granulated Sugar: A combination of brown sugar and granulated sugar adds the right amount of sweetness with a caramely flavor!
• Creamy Peanut Butter: This is a peanut butter chocolate chip skillet cookie that uses creamy peanut butter!
• Egg: Make sure to use a room temperature egg for best results.
• Vanilla: For added flavor!
• Chocolate Chips: I used semi-sweet chocolate chips here. You can use dark chocolate or milk chocolate instead!
• Ice Cream: The best way to serve a pizookie is warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!

Expert Tips

• Switch up the toppings! You can top it off with creamy vanilla ice cream or opt for a dessert sauce like caramel sauce or chocolate sauce! You can sprinkle it with extra chocolate chips, nuts or even m&ms for added texture and sweetness.
• Don’t over mix the dough! As with any cookie dough, it is important not to over mix the pizookie dough once the flour is added to the mix. Simply combine the ingredients until the mixture is just combined!
• If you don’t have a cast iron skillet, you can make this easy pizookie recipes in a cake or pie pan instead!
• To make the cookie dough ahead of time, prep the cookie dough and place in a bowl covered in plastic wrap. You can store the dough in the fridge for up to 3 days before you bake it!

Can I make mini pizookies?

Definitely! If you have mini cast iron pans, you can divide the dough between four 6 inch cast iron skillets and have four individual pizookie skillet cookies instead. Keep an eye on the cookies since cooking time will decrease.

How should I store leftover pizookie?

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day, or store in the fridge for up to 4 days! You can reheat the cookie in the oven until warm and serve with more ice cream!
