This dessert is for the end of the week and you're dead tired and so very grateful for the weekend, something you can delight in while you watch all the shows you DVRed during the week. I've made them with homemade cookie dough, I've made them with the cookie dough from Papa Murphy's, and I've made them with the good ol' refrigerator cookie dough from the grocery store. Quite honestly? I like the dough I don't have to make the best. These are so easy and so AMAZING that any extra effort, either in preparation or cleanup, seems to take away from their deliciousness. So take that for what it's worth...
What are we making? Pizzookies--basically, warm cookie sundaes. I would highly recommend buying some ramekins if you don't already have some because while these can be done in muffin tins, part of the joy is cracking that spoon through the shell of the cookie and spooning out the warm, gooey center, which, with a muffin tin, is either going to be impossible (cookies smoosh while being removed from pan) or awkward (sharing a muffin tin of pizzookies with dinner guests). Unless, of course, you make the whole pan for yourself and that's only awkward when someone walks in on you.
Pizzookies
Vanilla ice cream (click here for vanilla ice cream; omit cookies and cinnamon and add an extra tsp. vanilla)
Chocolate sauce (Click here to make your own hot fudge sauce)
Caramel Sauce (Click here to make buttermilk syrup, which is pretty much caramel sauce)
Preheat oven to 350. Fill ramekins about 1/2 full of cookie dough.
Bake in preheated oven for about 12-14 minutes or until golden around the edges but still soft in the middle.
Remove from oven and allow to cool about 5 minutes. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzle with caramel and chocolate sauces. Pure evil (although mine were only 99% evil because, if you'll notice, my chocolate syrup has added calcium--because, you know, an intangible amount of calcium is gonna offset this bad boy).

What a cute idea! I love my little ramekins, but hardly use them. This is a perfect little dessert using ingredients that I love. I can't wait to try it!!
This looks fabulous! My family is certain to agree. I am headed to the store to get what I need for these tasty treats. Friday nights are perfect for something like this. Thanks!
We like to use the mini brownie stones from pampered chef for individual pizzookies.
YUM ! There is no dessert more perfect, I think.
artificial vanilla is my first choice. America's Test Kitchen couldn't tell the difference, and that's good enough reason to believe that neither can my dinner guests.
Yum. Those look delicious!
Yummity Yum Yum Yum...
I made these when you first told me about them. I totally agree about the store-bought cookie dough- when it's covered in ice cream and chocolate and caramel, you're not gonna know (or care) that it's not homemade! I think this is a perfect no-fuss dessert.
Oh my yum. I almost licked my computer screen. I'm gonna be trying these for sure!
oooohhh, scandalous. i'm trying this tonight! (since I already have cookie dough in the freezer for emergencies)
I have had this before but I have microwaved the cookie dough! It is not as good that way, BUT it only takes 45 seconds and there are just some days when 45 seconds is all you have to spare!! Those seem to be the days when I need cookies most, so I am all about the microwave version!
Sorry - I deleted my comment because of spelling errors...thanks for answering me via email!
What a great idea. I might have to make some this weekend.
What a great idea. I will be trying this out asap. :)
Yum! They sell these by this very name at one of our Italian restaurants here. They're good stuff! Never thought of making it at home. Mmmmm.
GENIUS! Why do I never think of these things?! I am definitely a cookie junkie and this is right up my alley! I bet kids would go nuts over this - I know I would! :-)

Yum...can't wait to try it! We would go to a restaurant in TX just for their cookie monster--which was similar to this!
Kate! Wow! These look so good. I only have three more days of sb phase one and I am thinking of throwing in the towel for this recipe. Yum! I can't wait to try them.
Oh wow, that sounds divine. I'm really wishing I had cookie dough and vanilla ice cream lying around right now.
I love you Kate! I think I gained a pound just looking at the pictures. Hey, since my oven is full of melted plastic, can you post some meal ideas that don't require an oven?? Thanks!
Saw your picture on FoodGawker...incredible!
Uh oh! Firehouse (our local pizza place) will miss our pizookie patronage! Pizookies at home! What a dream come true!
This were incredibly yummy! So rich and terrific!
Thanks for ALL the great recipies!
I made this last night and WOW was it good. I personally hate the cookie dough in the tube so I made cookie dough, it doesn't take but five minutes anyway. I also made your hot fudge to put on top, loved it. Thanks for a totally great dessert, it's one of my top ten now.
Oh. my. this looks amazing.
Hello! I made this Saturday with store bought tube cookie dough. And we loved them so much we made them from scratch Sunday. I'm glad we are out of ice cream or I'd be making them again today. YUMMMMMM!!!!!
I'm sooooo making this! I FINALLY made your snickerdoodle ice cream....we loved it. The only thing I changes was that I only put 1 & 1/2 tsp of cinnamon & I think I'd like to cut it down a little more. I added actual snickerdoodle cookies into mine which are cinnamony so it was almost too much. I'll definitely be making it again. Thanks!

My mom brought me some ramekins yesterday so I promptly made these after lunch with some Papa Murphy's cookie dough I had in the fridge. I just about died. My sis-in-law told me just the day before that she saw them on your blog and made them for a crowd with your hot fudge sauce. Apparently, everyone raved about it. Now I can see why! I liked them so much, we finished off the cookie dough and made them again tonight for dessert!! This is going to be my new favorite for SURE! Mmmmmm!
I must have this dessert! My how yummy it looks. It will be something I make very soon. Thanks for sharing.
This was a very dangerous recipe to learn- so fast, so easy and SO good! I don't know why I would even both making anything else anymore! :) The fudge sauce is so easy and yummy too- thanks!
Made these! Mmmmmm, they were so gooood! I will definitely be passing along the "recipe"!

I just made them and posted my results. I'm in a sugar induced coma at the moment but thank you for sharing this gem!
These are so addicting! Well and when you still have the rest of the roll of cookie dough to use...what are you supposed to do? I love the gooeyness of the cookie!
Pre-packaged dough contains transfat--not okay in moderation. Perhaps wind down with a quick batch of buttery homemade cookie dough? :)
You're right about that particular storebought dough flavor. There's something irreplaceable about it!
I just made some of the NY Times cookie dough last night. I will have to try this soon with your homemade fudge syrup and caramel sauce. YUM!
Oh, my. I've been hearing about "Pizzookies" all over different blogs, and wondered what it was. It looks like the perfect desert! Thanks!
This looks soooooo good! Can you tell me how many a roll of cookie dough make? I need to busy some remekins first so would like to know how many I should get :)
Sheri--How many you get definitely depends on how big you make the pizzookies. :) My family of 4 never uses the whole roll, but my friend's family of 6 does. I would say 6-8 is a pretty safe guess.
Using a ramekin is a fabulous idea! At my house we LOVE this dessert. My roommates and I started making this years ago when we all lived together...we called it "Diabetes in a Bowl." Now my husband and family love it when we have this dessert. I usually try and keep some frozen home-made chocolate chip cookie dough on hand for when the craving hits.
HA this post is A) hilarious (i will be the one hovering in the corner eating the whole muffin tin hoping no one catches on) B) delicious and C) totally true, who DOESN'T like eating pre-made cookie dough
My friend just made these for us last Sunday, and we all LOVED them! I am printing out the recipe right now, so I can make them next.
Not only do I love your recipes, but I love the fun way you approach food and the sense of humor you both have when posting! The calcium bit seriously made me laugh out loud. :)
Just discovered your blog recently and have been hooked ever since!
This looks so delicious, cant wait to try it out!!!!!!! How many servings can you make from one Pillsbury cookie dough package??
Thanks!!!
So my absolutely favorite restaurant in AZ, Oregano's, had this on their menu and I LOVE IT! I have since moved to KY and I CRAVE, LUST, OBSESS this dessert. I have tried a hundred time to get it right and this is the closest recipie by far! THANK YOU for saving my life!
Sadia- it depends on the size of your ramekins and how full you make them. You can get 6 good sized ones or 4 big ones from a standard packaging of cookie dough. In the photo you'll notice the cookie comes all the way out of the top of the ramekin- that package made 4. You could even get 8 if you only filled them 1/2 way or less.
Just made this! OMG so delish. I do wish the recipe included how many you could make from one tube, I didn't have enough so we had to eat after the kids went to bed. :)
I want to race to World Market right now to buy ramekins to make this. YUM!

I made these today at work! Yes, at work. My boss was not thinking when he bought a mini-OVEN for the office. Anyway, total awesomeness. Thank you!!!!
I am adding this to my own 'online-cookbook'. I keep my favorite recipes on there and then I'll bind them together into my own personal cookbook. I will credit your site, of course. You girls are already on there a few times. ;) I hope that's okay!
Thanks again!
I am so going to try these for a special dessert tonight, but I don't have any ramkins, you think it will be ok in large muffin tins?? Maybe with cupcake papers?
Yes Bethany, that will work great, just use muffin liners so they'll come out easy. You can also use oven proof mugs.

Your awesome answering so fast! I was just about to put them in, thanks! I don't have any good mugs either, but I'll let you know how they work out.
The verdict is in, perfectly yummy!! I made them in a large muffin tin with papers, the paper cups were taller than the pan so I filled them about as high as the tin, the kids still say it wasn't enough LOL! We used chocolate ice cream for some of us and vanilla too. I need ramekins now, but good that I have another option. Hubby wants me to try this with brownies.... Thanks so much!
