Ingredients
  

Pizookie
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter cubed
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup pecans toasted and roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup soft caramels chopped
  • 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt for sprinkling

Equipment

  • 1 6-inch cast-iron skillet
  • 2 Mixing Bowls
  • 1 Saucepan

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 6-inch cast-iron skillet.
  2. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue to cook, swirling, until the butter foams and brown bits form. It will smell nutty. Immediately pour into a mixing bowl.
  3. Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar to the browned butter and whisk until combined. Whisk in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix with a spatula until just combined. Fold in the toasted pecans and chopped caramels.
  6. Press the dough evenly into the prepared skillet. Sprinkle the top with flaky sea salt.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, until the edges are golden and the center is just set. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not overbake the pizookie for the best gooey texture.
Serve warm with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate experience.
Browning the butter is optional but highly recommended for a deeper, richer flavor.
