Pizzookies are little individual servings filled with warm gooey chocolate cookie and ice cream. We love topping our Pizzookie with chocolate and/or caramel sauce for a knock-your-socks-off dessert that’s fancy enough for company and easy enough for a casual family treat. They can be made with 100% store-bought short cuts, or you can make any part of them with homemade recipes, we’ll provide links for all the options but they are just as delicious either way! Scroll past recipe card for step-by-step photos and some more tips.Â

- Remove from oven and allow to cool about 5 minutes. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzle with chocolate, or caramel or both!
Why a Pizzookie?
How to Make a Pizzookie
You can absolutely use a tub of store-bought cookie dough or make your own. If you want to only make 2-4 pizzookies, I recommend making this easy dough from our giant cookie since it makes a smaller amount.
When you order a Pizzookie at a restaurant, it often comes in a mini skillet. There are a lot of options, styles and sizes of those available on Amazon. We often bust out the mini cast iron skillet when making one for a special occasion, or if we’re going to share, but most times we love using ramekins because they’re so easy to serve in and you don’t end up with a hot handle you have to watch out for. There is however something fun about eating out of a skillet. So, either way!

Questions & Reviews
Not only do I love your recipes, but I love the fun way you approach food and the sense of humor you both have when posting! The calcium bit seriously made me laugh out loud. 🙂
My friend just made these for us last Sunday, and we all LOVED them! I am printing out the recipe right now, so I can make them next.
HA this post is A) hilarious (i will be the one hovering in the corner eating the whole muffin tin hoping no one catches on) B) delicious and C) totally true, who DOESN'T like eating pre-made cookie dough
Using a ramekin is a fabulous idea! At my house we LOVE this dessert. My roommates and I started making this years ago when we all lived together…we called it "Diabetes in a Bowl." Now my husband and family love it when we have this dessert. I usually try and keep some frozen home-made chocolate chip cookie dough on hand for when the craving hits.
Sheri–How many you get definitely depends on how big you make the pizzookies. 🙂 My family of 4 never uses the whole roll, but my friend's family of 6 does. I would say 6-8 is a pretty safe guess.
This looks soooooo good! Can you tell me how many a roll of cookie dough make? I need to busy some remekins first so would like to know how many I should get 🙂
Oh, my. I've been hearing about "Pizzookies" all over different blogs, and wondered what it was. It looks like the perfect desert! Thanks!
I just made some of the NY Times cookie dough last night. I will have to try this soon with your homemade fudge syrup and caramel sauce. YUM!
Pre-packaged dough contains transfat–not okay in moderation. Perhaps wind down with a quick batch of buttery homemade cookie dough? 🙂
You’re right about that particular storebought dough flavor. There’s something irreplaceable about it!
These are so addicting! Well and when you still have the rest of the roll of cookie dough to use…what are you supposed to do? I love the gooeyness of the cookie!
