Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure your pizookies cook evenly and come out perfectly gooey.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of cocoa powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well blended and set aside.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, beat together 1/2 cup of softened unsalted butter, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat until fully incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Grease four individual oven-safe ramekins or a single large skillet with non-stick cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Divide the cookie dough evenly among the ramekins or spread it evenly in the skillet, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. The edges should be set, while the center remains soft and slightly underbaked for that gooey pizookie texture.
- Once baked, remove the pizookies from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. They can be served warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
- Enjoy your delicious Double Chocolate Chip Pizookies with friends or family, and savor the rich chocolatey goodness!
Tips
- Use Quality Chocolate Chips: Opt for high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor. Dark chocolate chips can add a rich depth to your pizookies.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining your wet and dry ingredients, mix just until incorporated. Overmixing can lead to tough cookies instead of the soft, gooey texture you want.
- Experiment with Toppings: While vanilla ice cream is a classic pairing, feel free to get creative! Try adding whipped cream, caramel sauce, or even a sprinkle of sea salt for an extra flavor boost.
- Watch the Baking Time: Every oven is different, so keep an eye on your pizookies as they bake. You want the edges to be set while the center remains soft for that perfect gooeyness.
- Serve Warm: For the ultimate indulgence, serve your pizookies warm right out of the oven. The chocolate chips will be melty, creating a deliciously rich experience with each bite.
