Tessa's Recipe Rundown...
Taste: Exactly how you’d imagine a s’mores stuffed cookie to taste like! I was worried these would be too sweet so I reduced the amount of sugar I would regularly use. Texture: The best part. Ooey, gooey, chewy, crunchy, thick, and all around amazing with a glass of milk or a scoop of ice cream. Ease: Easy and fun. Appearance: You can’t tell what kind of amazing surprise is waiting for you inside these babies. Pros: Yes, yes. yes. Cons: Not an everyday treat. Would I make this again? Oh yeah.
The best part about s’mores is the ooey gooey texture.
The best part about a pizookie is the ooey gooey texture.
So the combination of the two? Out of this world perfect!!
Every bite is like sending your palate to a warm, cozy, sweet heaven full of nostalgia and joy. Basically, you’ve gotta make this recipe!
A pizookie is a play on words to combine pizza + cookie. It’s cookie dough baked in a small skillet or pan like a personal pizza. It can also be called a skillet cookie or pizza cookie. The key is the the center is slightly underbaked and it’s served warm, resulting in gooey deliciousness. The idea comes from the BJ’s chain of restaurants.
What kind of pan to use for baking pizookie?
I use these Lodge 14-ounce mini cast iron servers* for these pizza cookies. You’ll need two for this recipe (see make ahead instructions below if you only want one pizookie). Yes, these cast iron minis are pretty pricey. But you can also use them to bake other things, like cornbread! Or individual breakfast skillets.
You could also use mini pie or cake tins, you just may need to adjust the baking time depending on the size of the pan and how deep your pizookie will be. The deeper it is, the longer it’ll need to bake so it’s not totally raw in the center.
How to make pizookies ahead of time:
You can make the cookie dough ahead of time and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month. You can also assemble the skillet completely, cover, and refrigerate for up to 3 days. This works nicely if you only want to bake one at a time.
Can I double this recipe?
Yes! You’ll just need 4 mini skillets or pans. Just double the ingredients across the board.
Can I halve this recipe to just make 1 pizookie?
Not really. It’s hard to halve 1 egg and 1 egg yolk. You can just bake off one pizookie now and assemble the other to bake off later. Or freeze the dough for a later date. Or make one giant pizookie in a larger pan. Have fun! Get creative.

About Tessa...
I share trusted baking recipes your friends will LOVE alongside insights into the science of sweets. I'm a professionally trained chef, cookbook author, and cookie queen. I love to write about all things sweet, carb-y, and homemade. I live in Phoenix, Arizona (hence the blog name!)
I’ve seen so many people at the gym on the treadmill doing funky things like that, or be-bopping around to their music. Often times I feel like doing that, but I don’t have the guts! lol These pizza cookies look so great! I would love to make this in my cast iron skillet very soon. I’m off to the gym just thinking about it!

Whoa, when you say stuffed cookies, you really mean stuffed cookies! I love the concept here. I tried something like this and it was nowhere near as delectable as yours turned out, so I made cookie sandwiches instead. I should have just waited for your recipe!
I’ve been dropping by your site for a few weeks now so I thought I’d should post something to say “Hi! You have a new fan.” It is exciting to see a young gal doing what she enjoys and engaging your visitors.
These cookies look delicious! I plan to bake some later this week.
Your gym story reminded me a New Year’s Eve Party at a hotel many years ago. This older gentlemen whose dress style remained firmly in the 70s was dancing around with no restraint and no rhythm. Many folks were pointing at him and thinking he was a spectacle but I love it! You could see the pure joy on his face and he was having the time of his life. No fear! He was definitely living out loud.
As for your question, I think it is playing my air guitar in the car to a great rock and roll song on the radio.
Oh my gosh – I’ve seen someone doing something similar at the gym too! I could NOT stop watching, but it made me so darn happy since it looked like she was having such a great time. And on a side note: have you ever seen the “Prancersize” lady? She is a hoot.
Annnnd I am seriously drooling at the thought of these cookies. Holy moly!

These s’mores pizza cookies are amazing!!!! i am a die-hard s’mores fan. love love love them in any shape or form. And that is too funny about that woman at the gym. My gym has some great people watching – but mostly just people I shake my head at. The woman at your gym? more power to her!
These look absolutely amazing! The cookie is the most perfect “cookie brown” and it just looks so fluffy and delicious! I think I’m going to have to try this out this weekend. Looks perfect for a movie night at home.
As for gym performers… I have a lady at my gym that grunts constantly while she runs on the treadmill, it’s so annoying/disturbing and she clearly could not care less that everyone makes faces behind her, oy i get embarassed for her!

Wow, I TOTALLY need these in my life ASAP. Unfortunately, since I have a half-healed broken leg, I will have to wait until I can get back to the gym. I probably will not be doing any choreographed routines there, though!
Just wondering…does anyone have a substitute for Lodge 14-ounce mini cast iron servers? If not then that’s okay. These look amazing!:) I love s’mores so I’m super excited to try these out!
Is it possible to cook this over a campfire? My cousin during a camping trip up in the mountains had actually cooked a sort of pudding-cake over a campfire in a cast-iron pot lined with parchment paper.

Hi Tessa, just wondering if these could be made in little tiny 2 inch pie pans? And if you had an insight into altering the cooking time, should I do this. Thanks 🙂
10/10 ! I always wanted a good pan cookies recipe .. and wow this one is so simple and tasty !
I skipped the graham crackers, hershey’s bar, and marshmallows because I had none.. and it went perfect without them <3
My family loved it. Quick and easy to make. We didn’t have large marshmallows and substituted mini ones which worked out fine. We will absolutely make it again! We combined it into one big pizookie and baked it in a 9.5 inch glass pie pan. Worked great!!

Tessa, Tessa, Tessa,
Color me disappointed. In the baking world, “nothing” can ever be too sweet. Remember that! :}
“the lover of baked things!”
Wow, I TOTALLY need these in my life ASAP. Unfortunately, since I have a half-healed broken leg, I will have to wait until I can get back to the gym. I probably will not be doing any choreographed routines there, though!
Hi, I was wondering.. do you microwave the butter till it’s soft or till it’s completely melted?
Just wondering…does anyone have a substitute for Lodge 14-ounce mini cast iron servers? If not then that’s okay. These look amazing!:) I love s’mores so I’m super excited to try these out!

Hi Tessa! I was wondering, as a broke college kid who doesn’t have a lot of room for leftover ingredient storage, can I use store bought cookie dough?
