This copycat Pizza Hut cookie dough recipe is soft and gooey, filled with chocolate chunks, all without eggs or dairy! It’s nice and crispy on the outside with a soft, melt-in-the-mouth centre.Delicious served warm with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream!
Since I first created this recipe in 2018, vegan food has come a LONG way! Most fast-food restaurants now have a range of vegan mains and sides on offer, which is more than could be said 5 years ago.
At the moment, Pizza Hut does have a vegan cheesecake on their menu which is amazing. But I think I can speak on behalf of all vegans when I say a dairy-free/eggless version of their cookie dough is what we
Easy No Yeast Pizza Recipe
I tried to find out a bit of history behind Pizza Hut’s cookie dough but the information was quite hard to find. It seems that the dessert first came to the UK in the late 2000’s but the exact release date is unclear.
An oxymoron, right? I have been made fun of quite a few times for naming the recipe this way, LOL. Because if it’s hot, doesn’t that just make it a cookie? Technically yes…but also no.
It’s a half-baked cookie that’s still soft on the inside. You take it out of the oven just before it’s ready and it will continue baking (slowly) once it’s out of the oven.
Stuffed Crust Pizza
So if you eat it warm, you get a soft, gooey cookie “dough” dessert that’s great with ice cream and if you let it cool, you’ll end up with a chewy giant cookie! That’s a win-win in my opinion!
When I first made this recipe, I used ground up flax seeds as an egg replacer. I did that a lot because I was just starting out with vegan baking and didn’t know a lot about the science-y stuff.
Without eggs, I thought flaxseeds were my only option! I sometimes use them in my other cookie recipes, because it acts as a great binder and stops them from falling apart.
Quick Pizza Dough Recipe
But someone recently asked me if they could make this recipe without flax seeds. I figured that since this cookie is supposed to be eaten warm with a spoon, it wouldn’t matter too much if it didn’t have a super strong binder.
So I completely changed the recipe to (almost) match my more recent vegan cookie recipes, removed the flax seeds and added a tiny splash of plant-based milk. To my absolute delight, it worked really well! So there’s no need for any seeds in the recipe now.
This recipe is the perfect amount for 2-4 people (depending on your serving size). I say sharing because it tastes the best when it’s still warm, fresh from the oven. So unless you have a HUGE sweet tooth, make sure you’ve got someone to help you eat it!
Cookies + Creme Dessert Pizza
Before you begin, you’ll need to make sure you have roughly the correct sized pan or tin to make this. I’ve tested this recipe using a 6.5-inch cast iron skillet and also a 7-inch sandwich cake tin.
The skillet looked a lot prettier but to be very honest, I think the one I made in the tin tasted slightly better!
Whichever you decide to use, make sure it’s roughly 7-inches. If you use a larger or smaller one skillet/tin, you’ll need to keep an eye on it as the baking time may change. You don’t need to line or grease the tin or skillet before adding the dough. The cookie will come out super easily.
Homemade Pizza Dough Recipe
In a large bowl, mix together 130g of vegan margarine (1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon) with 100g of caster sugar (1/2 cup) and 75g of soft brown sugar (3/8 cups).
Make sure to use a spreadable margarine. Do NOT use vegan block butter for this recipe as it won’t hold together very well. I recommend Vitalite.
Now add 215g of self-raising flour (1+2/3 cups) to the bowl. Mix it in with your spoon and when it starts to stick together, use your hands to press it into a ball of dough.
Hot Cookie Dough Recipe (pizza Hut Copycat)
Add a splash of plant-based milk if you need it, to help the dough stick together. I find 1 tablespoon to be the right amount but this will depend on the type of vegan margarine you use.
If you don’t have self-raising flour, you can use an equal amount of all-purpose/plain flour and add in 1/4 of a teaspoon of baking soda and 1/2 a teaspoon of baking powder.
Add in 100g of vegan chocolate chips (~2/3 cups) to the dough and gently knead them in. Check out my vegan chocolate post for a list of chocolate chip options.
Liam Charles' Recipe For Easter Pizza Cookie
Gently press your cookie dough into your cake tin or skillet until it almost touches the edges. The cookie will spread and rise at the edges quite a lot so it doesn’t need to be pressed all the way out.
Place your skillet or cake tin into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when it’s golden brown on top with a slight wobble in the middle.
Note that it’s better to take it out too soon rather than too late. You can always put it back in if needed but once it’s overdone, there’s no way to make it soft again.
Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie Pizza Recipe
Yes! The whole point of the cookie skillet is to enjoy it hot while it’s still gooey, but any leftovers will turn into a chewy cookie once completely cold. Best of both worlds!
Yes. Pop the remainder of your cookie in an airtight container at room temperature. Just make sure the bits you save don’t have any melted ice cream on them.
Yes, but you’ll need to reduce the baking time accordingly. Keep an eye on it and take it out when it’s just gone golden brown all over.

Made this tonight after me and hubby were talking about our non vegan days. This recipe tastes just as I remember the uk pizza hut cookies tasting.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Pizza
Hi Lou, did you make any substitutions or use a different size skillet/pan? How was the texture of the dough before baking?
Hey Abbie! I’m not sure about the eggs as I’ve only tested it this way, sorry. It tastes pretty close to Pizza Hut’s dessert without the eggs though :)
