INGREDIENTS IN PIZZA HUT HOT COOKIE DOUGH COPYCAT
Before we dive in let’s talk about what you need to make this recipe:
Butter
I use Salted Butter in this recipe but Unsalted also works. Just add a good pinch of Salt.
Caster or Granulated Sugar with Light Brown Sugar
For crispy edges and a soft center, I use 1/2 of each.
Plain Flour
You can use Self Raising if that is all you have.
Vanilla & Egg
1 Egg is needed just to bring everything together.

Salt
A pinch elevates the flavour of the Cookie Dough.
Chocolate Chips
You can use any you like – Chopped chocolate, chips or chunks. Even M&Ms work.
HOW TO MAKE PIZZA HUT COOKIE DOUGH
This recipe is very easy to make, but here are some pics to help with the step by step process:
Preheat the oven to 200C/Gas Mark 6. Grease and line a 20cm tin.
Gather your ingredients.
The butter should be at room temperature. Mine had melted slightly! Oops.
Cream together Butter & Sugars
The first step in making this Pizza Hut Cookie Dough is to cream together the butter and sugars until the mixture is light and fluffy.
You can do this in a stand mixer or in a large bowl with a wooden spoon or hand held mixer.
Add Vanilla & Egg
Next, add the vanilla & egg and beat again until the mixture comes together.
Add Plain Flour and Salt
Add the dry ingredients on top of the wet ingredients.
Stir them together gently then beat until everything is combined and there are no lumps.
Add Chocolate Chips
Add chocolate chips and stir by hand until the chocolate chips are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Spread batter into lined tin
Next, spread the batter into the lined tin.
I recommend using a very lightly greased spatula or spoon but you can just spread with a wooden spoon if you prefer.
Sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top
Add a few extra chocolate chips on top of the batter if you like.
Bake
Bake for 15 minutes, or until the sides are just browning/set and the middle is still slightly jiggly.
Turn the heat up to Gas Mark 7/220 C. Bake for a further 5 minutes.
Serve
Let the cookie cool for 5 minutes before you serve it! Dollop on some Ice Cream and dig in.
FAQ’S FOR THE BEST PIZZA HUT HOT COOKIE DOUGH
Should the Batter be wet?
As you can see, the batter for this cookie dough is soft but spreadable.
If you find your batter doesn’t have the consistency above, add a little milk until it reaches the desired consistency.
I recommend using a very lightly greased spatula or spoon but you can just spread with a wooden spoon if you prefer.
Can this be made in a Cast Iron Pan?
Absolutely!
You can make this cookie dough in a 20 cm round tin, or in 4-6 small ramekins to serve individually or a 20 cm cast iron pan.
The edges will be crispier in a cast iron. SO delicious!
Changing the tin size
The baking time will depend on the depth of your tin/pan.
The wider the tin, the shorter the cooking time because the depth of batter will be a lot less.
Keep an eye on the batter and when the edges begin to become golden and crispy, it will be OK to remove it from the oven.
The center will remain slightly gooey but that is how it is supposed to be!
How to eat it
This is a dessert best enjoyed right away, but if you have leftovers you can store in an airtight container and microwave to enjoy another night.

If freezing for a while, I would wrap the cookie dough in plastic wrap before placing in an airtight box.

Yes, you can double it and bake it in two 20cm tins.
Can I halve the recipe?
If you want a smaller serving you absolutely can halve the recipe and bake it in a smaller tin.

If you prefer white chocolate, add that instead and perhaps add a cranberry/raspberry sauce on top.
Basically, add whatever your heart desires.
To make a Pizookie version, bake for a little longer.
