I was first introduced to a Pizookie (pizza + cookie) in college. My roommate and I would head over to BJ’s late at night when we were craving warm chocolate chip cookies and ice cream. We’d each polish off one of these bad boys while we laughed our heads off. Good times!
These are so easy to make at home. My version of the famous BJ’s Pizookie is Salted Rolo Chip. The sea salt gives a nice edge to the sweetness of the cookie dough studded with miniature Rolo candies.
While the skillet cookie is still warm from the oven, you add a big scoop of ice cream…
Homemade hot fudge doesn’t hurt a bit…
A little more…
Actually, I take that back. You’re going to need two scoops of ice cream…
Now you can dig in. The ice cream starts to melt into the warm cookie in the best way…
Sweet, gooey, creamy, melty, chocolatey perfection. I guess after all these years, this is still my happy place!

The melty nice cream all over that warm, salty sweet chocolatey cookie – oh my gosh, Julie. This is my heaven!
Julie says
Thanks Sally! So dreamy.

Julie, this looks heavenly. I absolutely love pizookies, I am so surprised it never occurred to me to make one before. I have a feeling this will be making an appearance in my home very soon! Beautiful pictures 🙂
Julie says
Thank you, Kristan. This recipe was a bit of a happy accident for me. I tried making individual Rolo Chip Cookies on baking sheet, but the caramel leaked out of the cookies too much. So my solution was a skillet to hold it all together! Hope you enjoy.

This is delicious! I just recently saw another recipe made in cast iron..and I think I have to buy it soon:)
Julie says
Thanks Ilona, hope you get a chance to try it!
Werona @cookiesorbiscuits says
Ohh! That looks so good! BJ’s has just recently opened here and I had my first Pizookie last month. All my family loved them, so I think I’ll give this a go!
Julie says
Thanks Werona! I hope you do get a chance to make these for your family.
