BJ's Pizookie

BJ's Restaurants sells skillet cookies under the trademarked name "Pizookie". [1] The "Pizookie" name is a portmanteau of the words "pizza" and "cookie," as the cookie resembles a deep-dish pizza cooked in a skillet. [4]

BJ's offers many varieties, including caramel, cookies and cream, red velvet cake, chocolate chip, white chocolate macadamia, strawberry shortcake, oatmeal raisin walnut, churro, and chocolate brownie. [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] Toppings such as syrup, nuts, and chocolate chips are sometimes used. [10] They have offered various limited-time Pizookies over the years, including Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Fruity Pebbles Pizookies for National Cereal Day in 2019, [6] [11] S'more Pizookies for National S'mores Day, [12] [13] and a "Spooky Pizookie" for Halloween in 2023.
