A pizookie is a big baked cookie that is cooked to order and served warm, usually in a heavy skillet so that the texture has that ideal comparison between the crunchiness at the edges and the center’s tenderness with melted chocolate or other add-ins.
For those who are into cookies and warm deserts, this is something that will make you fall in love with pizookie! It’s a lovely cross between pizza and cookie—one of those desserts that bring the best of both worlds together. A large, under-baked cookie served in a skillet (generally topped with one or two scoops of ice cream).
The Invention of Pizookie dessert
- 1990s Origin: BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse, U.S., when first introduced in their dessert menu with the pizookie, later on, it proved to be one of the signature items.
- Classic Cookies Inspiration: It’s chocolate-chunk-studded classic cookies, the kind I love to eat but never make myself, because I can’t resist eating the dough and always forget to add the salt. Served like pizza. It’s a stretch.
- A doughy crowd-pleaser: The popularity of the pizookie has continued to grow, with flavours ranging from peanut butter to macadamia nut to red velvet.
