BJ’s has a delicious dessert Pizookie.  If you have not tried it before, it is ok because you can make it at home.

Prepare and bake cookie dough according to the directions or recipe.  Use a baking pan with some depth and spread the dough as evenly as possible into the pan.  We used chocolate chip cookie dough and a heart shaped pan because it was Valentine’s Day.

When craving dessert, cut a piece and place it in a bowl to warm in the microwave.  We nuked the piece below for about 30 seconds.

Add a few scoops of your favorite flavor of ice cream.  Bon appetit!

We were able to enjoy our version of this yummy dessert for five nights. We also still have half a carton of ice cream leftover.

Cost Breakdown
1 Package of Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix:  $2.00
1 Egg:  $0.25
1/2 cup Butter:  $0.87
Vanilla Ice Cream (1.5 qts):  $3.99
Total: $7.11

Tonight, I wanted to use a Christmas present: 100 cookie cutters.  I thought letters would be the simplest.

Using a Betty Crocker package, I followed the directions to make the dough.  Mix, 1/2 cup of butter and 1 egg.

I rolled it into a thin layer with a rolling pin and pressed the cookie cutters in.  Utter fail!  The cookie dough was too soft and did not keep the shape of the letters well.  So, I just made regular cookies.

Do I need to use a specific type of cookie dough to use cookie cutters?
