BJ’s Brewhouse is famous for their Pazookies. I recently tried one for the first time and was pretty surprised! This wasn’t your typical thick, overly sweet and gooey cookie. Don’t get me wrong there’s a time and a place for that kind of cookie, but after you’ve devoured an appetizer, fries and a double cheeseburger it’s probably not the time.
This cookie was thin and lighter, yet still delicious and really hit the spot after my meal. I knew I had to recreate this at home, so I did just that. The first time it was a little too rich so the second time I added less butter and brown sugar and I have to say it turned out pretty darn close to the BJ’s Pazookie I had, dare I say better! The cookie pan that I used can be found here.
