Some days you just need a cookie. And then there are those days you need a REALLY BIG cookie. That is when you make one of this Simple Pizookie Recipe.
What is a Pizookie?! It is a cookie the size of a pizza. You can really make any type of pizookie you want, but you can’t go wrong with a giant chewy chocolate chip cookie.
Pizookies originated at BJ’s Restaurant, but have taken the entire country by storm. I mean a cookie, the size of a pizza….topped with ice cream……where do I sign up!?
Now the dangerous part. The cookie dough is crazy easy to make, it can be frozen ahead of time, or can be made gluten free and dairy free too! Yep….it is versatile, and oh so good.

You could even go crazy and whip up a batch and give it as a gift with a cast iron skillet and a spatula! Throw in a cute dish towel, or little dessert plates! It would be the greatest gift ever!
What makes the Pizookie recipe even better is baking it in a cast iron skillet. If you haven’t noticed yet, I LOVE LOVE LOVE my cast iron skillet and pans. I use them every day, for everything. They last forever, cook evenly, can be popped in the oven….you can’t go wrong.
