Pizzookie

Cookie?  Pie?  Pizza?  Oh goodness, I don't know!!  All I know is that Bri LOVES this dessert, so when she suggested it, and I had no idea what it was, I figured I should give it a shot!

What's great about this recipe?  Well, you certainly don't have to worry about making each individual cookie - you just slap it all into one pie dish and plop it in the oven!  So, you know what else that means?  Yep!  Only ONE dish to clean AND only one thing to put in the oven (not three, four... different batches of cookies).

Bake this and serve with ice cream, whipped cream, or even a cup of hot chocolate (since it is winter!), and enjoy a simple dessert after a long week.  Top your ice cream with hot fudge, caramel, sprinkles, or even a cherry on top!  Whatever suits your fancy and putts a smile on your face.

And really, who doesn't like the idea of combing two wonderful desserts?  Pies... and cookies!  :)

Pizzookie

1 cup butter (2 sticks) at room temperature
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 1/3 cups flour
1 tsp vanilla
1 bag chocolate chips (about 2 cups)

Preheat oven to 350.

In a stand mixer, in a bowl with a hand mixer, or old school (how I grew-up making everything!) in a bowl with a large spoon, cream the butter and both sugars together until light and fluffy.  Next, add each egg, one by one, mixing each in until incorporated.  Mix in vanilla and stir just until combined.

Combine your baking soda, salt, and flour in a separate bowl and whisk together.  Add your dry ingredients to your wet ingredients and mix just until combined.

Lastly, add your chocolate chips in, stir, and pour into a greased pie dish.  You could also use a cast-iron skillet.  Or want a "little" version?  Divide your batter between individual ramekins for a very personalized dessert.

Bake for 20-25 minutes.  It's best if the inside is still... a little gooey!  :)
Bake your ramekins for about 10-12 minutes.

Allow to cool for about 5 minutes and then... dive in!
