What is a Pizookie?

A pizookie is a pizza cookie! Today’s quick air fryer dessert will knock your socks off because it is so tasty! You can make a pizookie in a pizza pan or in ramekins. I will be showing you how to make this recipe in ramekins to make mini pizookies.

Mini pizookies are perfect summer treats that you can enjoy with the family! Keep reading to learn how to make this easy dessert in the air fryer.

How do I make a pizookie?

A pizookie is like a very large cookie, so you will need cookie dough ingredients to make it of course! The cookie recipe I am using to make my air fryer pizookie is an old time favorite of mine. Of course, you can use any of your favorite chocolate chip cookie dough recipes.

To make chocolate chip cookie bowls, you will need:

• 1 cups all-purpose flour
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• 5 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled slightly
• ½ cup light brown sugar
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoons vanilla
• ¾ cups chocolate chips (you can use any of your favorite chocolate chip flavors- semi-sweet, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, etc.)

Can I air fry a pizookie?

Air fried pizookies are so delicious and easy! To make an air fryer pizookie you will either want to use 3 to 4 ramekin dishes, or 1 air fryer pizza pan. I got my pizza pan in my air fryer accessory kit.

Easy Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Instructions

Check out these simple and quick instructions for making the base of your pizookie!

1. Preheat the air fryer at 400°F/200°C for 5 minutes.

2. In a small to medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda.

3. In another bowl, whisk melted butter and sugars until combined. Then, add the egg and vanilla and mix well.

4. Using a rubber spatula, fold dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined; do not over mix.

5. Fold in the chocolate chips and spread the dough into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with the spatula.

How do I make a pizookie?

Assembling the cookie bowl, or pizookie, is so simple!

1. Place about 2 tablespoons of dough mixture into a 6 ounce ramekin.

2. Place 3-4 ramekins in the air fryer basket.

3. Cook at 320 degrees Fahrenheit or 160 degrees Celsius for 6-7 minutes (or until dough is almost cooked to your liking), then let the ramekins sit inside the warm air fryer for a couple of minutes to let it finish setting.

Special Air Fryer Pizookie Recipe Notes

As noted, I cooked the dough for 6-7 minutes in the air fryer. With this time, the dough was still somewhat wet, but we had it sit for several minutes and it was our favorite consistency.

If you cook for 9 minutes then let the cookies set, the dough/cookies are pretty dried out (if that is what you love, then cook for up to 9 minutes).

The key to tasty cookies is to let it sit for several minutes, after baking, before enjoying

Pizookie Topping Ideas

I love to enjoy this recipe with my favorite vanilla ice cream and homemade hot fudge sauce! You may also enjoy pizookies with

• caramel
• peanut butter
• MnM’s or other small candies
• sprinkles
• nuts such as pecans

But, honestly, these cookies taste just as good all my themselves. Plus, they are way more fun to eat than a normal cookie!

Other Ways You Can Make Air Fryer Pizookies

If you don’t have all the ingredients on hand to make homemade cookie dough, or if you don’t have ramekins, there are other variations to this recipe that you can try out. Check them out!

Use a pizza pan

I love mini pizookies because they are so much easier to eat all by yourself. But, you can also make this recipe like a traditional pizookie in an air fryer pizza pan. Make the dough and layer it on the pizza pan.

Cook the pizookie in the air fryer at 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius for 8-13 minutes, depending on how done you want your cookie to be.

Use a different recipe

You don’t have to make a chocolate chip pizookie, or use my cookie dough recipe. Use your own favorite!

Or, you can switch out the chocolate chips with

• white chocolate chips and pecans
• MnM’s
• Peanut butter chips
• etc

Although, I haven’t tried this, I am sure these pizookies would still taste amazing with one of these recipes!

• Sour Cream Sugar Cookies
• Cake Mix Cookies
• Turtle Brownie Cookies
• S’mores Cookies
• Dairy-Free Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
• Pumpkin Cookies
• Pumpkin Gingersnap Cookies
• Chocolate Cookies

Use prepackaged cookie dough

If you don’t want to go through the hassle to make your own cookie batter, you can use prepackaged, and premade cookie dough! My favorite brand is Sweet Loren’s because they are gluten free, dairy free, vegan, and are peanut/tree nut free! You can use any of your favorite cookie dough brands like Pillsbury, Tollhouse, or Nestle.
