🍪 Hot Cookie Dough Pizza Hut Ingredients
Here are the Pizza Hut cookie dough ingredients (source):
- Wheat Flour (plain flour)
- Dark Chocolate
- Sugar
- Butter
- Maltodextrin
- Concentrated Butter
- Whey Powder
- Salt
- Raising Agents
To replicate this, you could make a no egg cookie dough with light brown sugar, chocolate chunks, vanilla extract, and other favorite cookie ingredients. However, to prevent food poisoning, you also need to cook flour before eating, not just the egg. Some food scientists say that using home kitchen heated-treated flour may not be adequate (source).
Luckily, Pillsbury sells cookie dough that is safe to eat, and you can use it to make this hot cookie dough dessert. This chocolate chip cookie dough uses heat-treated flour and pasteurized eggs, so you can eat it straight from the package. There’s no need to dirty a large mixing bowl!
Check the brand of cookie dough you like to see if it is ready to eat. Tesco cookie dough is egg free (source), but I don’t think the flour has been heat treated.
Aside from ready-to-eat cookie dough and cooking spray, the only other thing you need for this hot cookie dough recipe Pizza Hut copycat is a cast-iron skillet. One that is 9 inches (22.9 cm) across the bottom should be perfect. If your skillet is a different size, this may impact the heating time.
Oh, and having some vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce for serving is never a bad idea.
➕ Pizza Hut Cookie Dough Recipe
Here are instructions for how to make a hot cookie dough recipe:
- Preheat the oven to 325F (163C). Oil a cast iron pan that measures 9 inches (23cm) across the bottom.
- Press 1½ lbs (24 oz or 680g) of Pillsbury ready to eat cookie dough into the bottom of the prepared cast iron skillet. (This is 1½ packages of cookie dough.) Don’t use cookie dough from scratch for this, as the eggs and flour are not cooked, and could make you sick.
- Bake your chocolate chip cookie Pizza Hut copycat for 18-20 minutes on an oven rack ⅓ down from the top of the oven. Remove it from the oven and let rest 2-5 minutes. Remember, it should just barely be heated, with a warm gooey center and firmer edges.
- This is best served warm with ice cream and chocolate sauce. You definitely need a spoon to eat it. Enjoy!
For a US-style fully baked Pizza Hut cookie pizza, Pillsbury recommends baking the skillet at 375F (190C) for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. For regular cookies cooked on a cookie sheet, bake at 350F (177C) for 12-14 minutes.
Baked Cookie Dough Recipe Variations
You can vary this recipe with different flavors of ready to eat cookie dough and different cookie toppings. Here are some topping ideas:
- Chocolate chips (white chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, mini chocolate chips)
- Caramel sauce
- Marshmallow fluff
- Chopped nuts
- Peanut butter sauce
- Chopped peanut butter cups
- Chopped pieces of cookies (choc chip cookies, Oreos, etc.)
- M&Ms
- Heath Bar toffee chips
