Makes
One 9-inch pazookie (about 8 servings)
Time
25 minutes
Kid job
Kids can press the dough into the pan and sprinkle chocolate chips on top. A grown-up handles the hot oven and skillet.
What you need
- 1 package (24 count) frozen or refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough
- 1/2 cup extra chocolate chips (for extra gooeyness!)
- Vanilla ice cream for topping
How to make it
- 1Ask a grown-up to heat the oven to 350°F.
- 2Let the cookie dough sit out for about 5 minutes so it is soft enough to squish.
- 3Spray a 9-inch round cake pan or oven-safe skillet with nonstick spray.
- 4Wash your hands, then press all the cookie dough into the pan so it covers the bottom in an even layer.
- 5Sprinkle the extra chocolate chips all over the top and press them in a little.
- 6Ask a grown-up to bake the pazookie for 18–22 minutes, until the edges are golden and the center is still a little soft.
- 7Let it cool for 5 minutes, then add a big scoop of vanilla ice cream right in the middle.
- 8Grab spoons and dig in while it is warm and melty!
Grown-ups: please help with the oven, the stove, and anything sharp.
