Since I received the news that my fantasy baseball team was mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, I’ve been beating myself up a little bit. I mean, me, a three-time champion in the seven-year existence of The Super Best Friend’s League, missing the playoffs? That’s something that sad losers do, not Trevor. I honestly think it may be one of the first signs of the apocalypse. Now maybe, just maybe it isn’t end of the world-related, but just to be safe I’d keep an eye out for rivers running red with blood, swarms of locusts, The Four Horsemen, and seven angels with trumpets.
With the recent hardship and possible apocalypse looming, I was in need of a pick-me-up. I sought it in the form of Pizza Hut’s Ultimate Hershey’s Chocolate Chip Cookie.
Now being in the ultimate state of depression I was in, my dumbass forgot to buy milk before ordering the cookie. When I got it back to my apartment, I didn’t want to lose out on the just-from-the-oven taste of the cookie, so I settled for no milk. This joins drafting Tampa Bay Rays Outfielders Wil Myers and Desmond Jennings on my recent list of regrets.

The first thing I notice about the Ultimate Cookie when I open the box is that it’s just a cookie cake without frosting. I’m not sure why I was expecting it to be a giant cookie. Pizza Hut should really put “cake” at the end of the title to avoid confusion. I was really hoping for a giant cookie, the kind that Paul Bunyan would eat. But alas, it was cut into eight pieces, thus becoming a cake and not one cookie.
The best part about this dish is the heavy amount of Hershey’s chocolate. It’s made with semi-sweet chocolate chips and they were melty and delicious, kind of like Hershey’s chocolate in a s’more.
The cookie was good, but I wanted a lot more. My mother makes my brother and I cookie cakes for our birthdays every year, so my standards are a bit inflated, but I was still a bit disappointed. It didn’t have enough of that salty-sweet that I look for in a cookie cake. But I guess that’s why it’s not called a cookie cake.

It’s a tasty cookie, but it will dry out your mouth. You won’t die if you order the cookie and don’t have any milk on hand but at the same time you will miss out on a lot of the experience.
I ate four of the eight slices while it was still fresh and after a full day had passed I went back to see how it held up to the test of time. I had put it in plastic wrap and in the cupboard and it really was not worth keeping. The cookie’s flavor is dependent on it being warm. It’s not like when you make a batch of your favorite chocolate chip cookies and they will still be good for a few days. It makes you realize how average the cookie part is and that without melty chocolate chips, it’s really nothing special.
I really wish there was a frosting on it. It’s just a cookie cake somebody forgot to finish decorating. It’s like they got three-quarters of the way there and said, “Ah, good enough.” It’s not essential for the taste or anything, though it would be better, but it’s really confusing looking at a frosting-less cookie cake.
Review: Pizza Hut Ultimate Hershey's Chocolate Chip Cookie
This giant cookie is decent, but like your friend who only wears jeans and a t-shirt whenever you go out, it needs something more to reach it’s true potential.

Cons: Cookie is a tad dry. Doesn’t taste great the next day. Forgetting to buy milk before eating a giant cookie. Having a bad fantasy baseball season and unintentionally setting the wheels of the apocalypse in motion.There’s nothing better than a warm, melt-y, chocolate-y cookie straight out of the oven. Literally, nothing. And for those of us who are baking-impaired, or just don’t have time, the best way to get one of those is by ordering a Pizza Hut Ultimate Hershey’s®; Chocolate Chip Cookie. [Time out: Pizza Hut has a cookie? Yes, and it’s dope.]
Pizza Hut Hot Cookie Dough Copycat
If this is news to you, you’ve either been living under a rock for the last year, or you’ve been wasting your time struggling to make your own cookie goodness. How Pizza Hut came to make cookies is another story entirely, but pull up a chair, because it’s a good one. We sat down with Susan Riley, the Associate Brand Manager who worked to launch the Pizza Hut cookie last year, to get the lowdown on how Hershey’s and Pizza Hut partnered for one epic dessert.
Pizza Hut had been looking into making a cookie for around five years before Susan came on board to the effort. Cookies were viewed as a big opportunity, and when some other restaurants started launching their dessert options, Susan and her team were challenged to create Pizza Hut’s first ever cookie in sixty days. Normally, it takes three to six months to bring a new product to our restaurants nationally. So, yeah.
Susan, only in her third month working at Pizza Hut, rallied the troops. Working with Operations, R&D, Finance, QA, Engineering, Digital and Marketing, they knew two things: they had to make the best cookie ever, and that they were going to work with Hershey’s. Through two weeks of brainstorming, they screened different cookie shapes, sizes, and recipes. Susan says, “I was eating a lot of cookies at the time, along with my R&D partner, Barbie King. We would be on the phone at 11 o’clock at night discussing the ratio of chocolate chips to dough, or which supplier could support the entire US restaurant system. It was weird but also kind of great.”
Easy Chocolate Chip Cookie Pizza Recipe
Susan and Barbie were testing recipes specifically to make sure our cookie had the most chocolate, as well as what Susan calls “that ooey-gooey feeling”;soft, warm, melty, fresh-out-of-the-oven. Our cookie would taste like a home-baked cookie, but without spilling flour all over your kitchen or having to wash an egg beater at the end of your work day. We wanted it to be the type of cookie where you could pretend that you baked it yourself from Grandma’s secret, super easy recipe.
Working with Hershey’s was mission critical to achieving these goals. Hershey’s makes the tastiest chocolate around, so we wanted to make sure customers knew we meant business when it came to making the best cookie out there. Susan and the team landed on the magic recipe, brought the cookie to a food photo shoot with our agency partners, had Barbie star in our TV commercial, and launched—almost exactly 60 days from their kickoff meeting.
The Ultimate Hershey’s®; Chocolate Chip Cookie was an instant hit. The sweetest creation to come from the Pizza Hut kitchen is beloved by those who try it, and remains one of our most popular items on the menu. When you can order a freshly baked cookie, have someone bring it to you personally, and don’t have to clean the dishes after enjoying that melty goodness, everyone wins. Especially those of us in Dallas who were here for last year’s launch, and greeted with this milk and cookie cart making the rounds at PH Headquarters on cookie’s first day!
