A White Chocolate Hot Cookie Dough Dessert
My warm and gooey hot cookie dough recipe that you don’t need a skillet to make – I use a cake tin! This recipe is both tasty and moreish, making it perfect for all the cookie monsters like me out there.

Cookie dough is by far one of the easiest desserts I like to make, especially because it’s a big circle of gooey goodness. It takes me only 25 minutes to make, and you can enjoy it freshly baked whilst it’s nice and warm.
I have to admit, I devoured the whole thing by myself! I served it with a couple scoops of vanilla ice cream, and I just kept going spoon after spoon. Trust me, the taste of this dessert is irresistibly good.
What’s even better is how easy it is to make; all you’re doing is making a cookie batter and baking it in a cake tin. You don’t have to use white chocolate like I did, you can use dark, milk or whatever flavour you like.

My Homemade Pizza Hut Version
I tried Pizza Hut’s cookie dough and decided to make it myself… and here I am with the recipe! After many trials and errors, I finally perfected a cookie dough that’s ultra gooey, soft and rich too.
It’s basically a deep-dish cookie filled with chocolate that’s baked to perfection. I love the gooey centre, the slightly crispy edges and of course the compulsory side of ice cream (kidding not kidding).
I deviated from Pizza Hut’s original by using white chocolate chunks instead of milk chocolate chips. It’s so much better! Using chunks broken from a chocolate bar creates pools of chocolate when the cookie dough has baked.
Recipe Ingredients
You only need the 7 ingredients I’ve listed below (most of which you’ll probably have at home already):
- Butter: You can use either salted or unsalted butter. I occasionally like to use Stork (a brand of margarine).
- Sugar: This recipe uses half caster sugar and half light brown sugar for a slightly chewy cookie around the edges. However, you can use all caster sugar or all light brown sugar to keep it simple.
- Egg: I used one small egg.
- Vanilla: For extra flavour, though I never skip this out, using vanilla extract is an optional addition.
- Plain Flour: Helps to bind the wet and dry ingredients together.
- Baking Powder: For a gentle rise.
- Chocolate: I used white chocolate but feel free to use any type of chocolate you like.
