My friend recently told me that when she was living in California there was a place that made huge individual cookies you eat hot from the oven with a spoon.
After recovering from the brain implosion of cookie lust that information caused my imagination, I began trying to figure out how I could create something like that in my own kitchen. With minimal time, effort and energy.
Tonight I had a friend coming over who is always willing to try my attempts at new recipes, so I threw together what I hoped would be a decent dessert.
We both pretty much spat sugar over each other as we experienced simultaneous Cookiegasms upon first bite. I took photos as I went along baking, and think I have all my measurements and times pretty darn close.
They have something like a crisp crust, the raw sugar giving just enough texture to the outside to compliment the hot, gooey inside full of melty butterscotch chips. The smooth, creamy ice cream keeps it from being too hot, and smooths out the whole experience. Delicious!
Being one to never ever follow recipes exactly (it’s a Turrets-like affliction; I simply can’t help myself but change things up when baking/cooking), I give full permission to you to try different chips, different pans, or even making you own cookie dough. Just give me some cred for coming up with this in the first place, please!
Here is my recipe, in all it’s estimated glory. Enjoy! And if you make it, please let me know how you liked it!!

The Dark Side is a beautiful thing.
If you’re talking about the pizzookie from BJs it is indeed the best thing EVER in the world. I will have to try this now too though. Mmmmmmm!!
Do you means the BJs Warehouse store? They make those? That would be AWESOME. My friend from CA said there was a small shop out there that this was their specialty. I fantasied about it & decided to try to make a gooier version. Thus this one. Let me know if you like it!
