Notes
Variations
So this cookie dough is a basic cookie dough recipe which is adaptable to your taste. Want a salted caramel version? Add caramel pieces instead and add some caramel over the top. 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.How to serve Hot Cookie Dough
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. Or you can save some of the cookie dough to make fresh another night.Storage/Freezing Instructions
Let the cookie dough cool completely and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days. It also keeps in the freezer for up to two months. If freezing for a while, I would wrap the cookie dough in plastic wrap before placing in an airtight box.FAQ'S FOR THE BEST PIZZA HUT HOT COOKIE DOUGH
Should the Cookie 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 Cookie Dough 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!Can I change 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!Can I double the recipe?
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.Note on Cooking Time
I have made this recipe so many times and the variation in baking time is so wide here because it depends how you like it but also because baking time depends on your oven. Some run hotter then others and it can vary by a few minutes if your oven has been on for a couple of hours beforehand. I.e. if you have been using it for other recipes through the day.Nutrition
