Hi friends! It’s likely my favorite dessert on planet Earth – the Pizookie. If you know of it, it’s probably from the likes of BJ’s Brewery or Oregano’s. Both delicious, both high on my list. But did you know that they are also so very easy to make at home? We had a night alone this weekend while the kids were at the grandparents, so I whipped up a couple as a sweet treat for me and the hubs. And I posted it on Instagram, and you all asked for the recipe! PS – I also showed a sneak peak on Vine, the new 6-second video sharing app, HERE! If you’ve joined, be sure to come find and follow me at “anightowlblog” and I’ll follow you back! And back to the recipe…
| Easy Peasy Pizookie |

Print
|
- 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. salt (I use sea salt)
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Mix flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl.
- Cream together butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large bowl with hand or stand mixer.
- Add eggs and beat until well mixed.
- Add in flour mixture slowly until completely blended.
- Here I add dough to 1 pt sized Pyrex baking dishes, which work perfectly for the pizookie. You can also use small cast iron or other glass baking dishes.
- Since my husband likes white chocolate and I like milk chocolate, I then add chocolate chips to the top of the dough. You could always incorporate them into the dough first if that is what you prefer.
- Bake the pizookies at 375 until golden brown around the edges, approximately 18 minutes.
- Remove from the oven; the center will be somewhat mushy still, but perfect for a pizookie!
- Serve with a scoop of ice cream on top and you’re good to go!
This is how they look before going into the oven…
And here’s how the goodness turns out…
Top it with some ice cream and you’re golden!
That’s it! If you love a good pizookie, I hope you’ll give this a try! Let me know how it turns out for you!

I use this recipe all the time, but I incorporate the chips into the batter, and then spread it in a greased 15 x 10 x 1 pan, bake it for 18 min at 375 and call it chocolate chip cookie bars.
I’m amazed that all of that dough will fit in a pint size dish do you really have it pressed down in there pretty compactly?…..It looks good! I will have to try it.
So delicious!! It is my favorite dessert at BJ’s!! Thanks for the recipe!!
YUM!!! We go to BJ’s and if you tell them it is your birthday you get a free Pizookie
Evil! Pure evil! I have been SO good with eating healthy lately, but I want this SO bad right now. Mmm…Oreganos. Gah!
This looks so good and goes against my entire diet. It keeps taunting me on instagram, my reader and vine. Now I have to make this recipe this weekend.

I think you mean QUART sized dishes…NO WAY this is fitting in a pint sized dish. Trust me…I just doubled this recipe…:(
I’m sorry Deb! I only use enough dough to fill the pint sized dishes 2/3 of the way full. You don’t have to use all the dough called for in the recipe.
The recipe serves 4.
I came from SoCal, and I’m now on the East coast. Sadly there are no Pizookies here. Some places try, but none are as good as BJ’s. I NEEDed a Pizookie one day though, and found your blog.
I used 1/2 of your recipe with a few extra chocolate chips. I used milk chocolate, and I didn’t have any brown sugar, so it turned out more like a chocolate-chip sugar cookie, lol, but OMG THIS THING IS AMAZING!!! I will have to say: It’s as good as BJ’s Pizookie, if not BETTER!!! Mint chip ice cream made it awesome too!
Oh that sounds awesome! I’m so glad you tried in and liked it! It’s a fave in our house!
