Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Skillet (“Pizookie”)
No need to go to BJ’s – you can make this brown butter pizookie right at home, and it tastes 100000x better!
When it comes to my cooking, Jason doesn’t make a lot of requests. He usually eats all the “blog food” and has never complained about it. If anything, he’s raving about it, even though it involves his least favorite foods – like quinoa and whole wheat. Yeah, he’s a keeper.
But the other night, he asked if BJ’s was the only restaurant that sells the pizookie, a piping hot cookie skillet topped with ice cream. I looked to him and said, “You know you could ask me to make it. Not just make it but make it without taking pictures so you could actually have it piping hot from the oven.” Then he said, “But I want you to blog about it!”
That made my heart melt.
So I made two cookie skillets. One for Jason so he could have it right out of the oven and a second for photographic purposes. And both skillets were epic. Using a simple cookie batter with browned butter and Scharffen Berger chocolate CHUNKS, we remained quiet and devoured our individual skillets like there was no tomorrow.
Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Skillet ("Pizookie")
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 14 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- ⅓ cup sugar
- ½ cup dark brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- Ice cream, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly coat 2 5-inch cast iron skillets with nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
- Melt 10 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until the foam subsides and the butter begins to turn a golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat; strain through cheesecloth or fine sieve.
- Stir in remaining 4 tablespoons butter until completely melted. Whisk in sugars and vanilla until well combined. Whisk in egg and egg yolk until well combined. Add flour mixture, beating just until incorporated. Gently fold in chocolate chips.
- Divide mixture into the prepared skillets. Place into oven and bake until edges are golden brown but center is still moist, about 12-15 minutes.
- Serve immediately, topped with ice cream, if desired.

I am speechless and drooling.
Just made this for my boyfriend and his roommate, it’s absolutely amazing. “Flavor exploding out of my head” “My tongue is having a party!” Thank you for sharing this recipe 🙂
Pretty nice post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wanted to say that I’ve really enjoyed browsing your blog posts.
After all I’ll be subscribing to your feed and I hope you write again soon!
is there a way to make this without using a skillet.
Pam, if you don’t want to use a skillet, I would advise to use another cookie recipe that is not catered to the skillet method.
this is actually the same cookie recipe as America’s Test Kitchen’s classic chocolate chip cookie. It wasn’t necessarily intended for a skillet, and it works great in normal cookie form. I intend to try it in a skillet now, but it’s the best chocolate chip cookie recipe I’ve ever used, so definitely give it a try baking in either format.
I usually make this in a ramekin for individual serving. I buy the refrigerated cookie dough. Spray or dot the ramekins with margarine or butter, place 1 or 2 cookie dough on each, then place them on a cookie sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 14 minutes. Serve immediately with icecream on top.
Right now it seems like WordPress is the top blogging platform available right now.
(from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your blog?
Yes, I am currently on the wordpress platform.
Awww Jason definitely sounds like the guy for you! 🙂 The “But I want you to blog about it” line was priceless! Haha! Now about this recipe… This makes me seriously reconsider my New Year’s resolutions. Lol! It looks insanely good. I pinned it and hope I get to make it sooner than later! 🙂

I always have trouble getting my cast iron pans clean after this, how do you clean yours?
I’ve never had any trouble – I usually soak and clean it immediately.
The easiest way to clean and season cast iron skillet is to sprinkle about a teaspoon of salt in it, and about a quarter-size drizzle of vegetable oil. Wad up a paper towel and rub it around. Voila! Clean and seasoned skillet!
Care look great
