Deep Dish Chocolate Chip Cookie Sundaes
I’m not even going to pretend I’m sorry about this.
Because weeks are too long and weekends are too short and sometimes you just need a cookie that’s 2 inches thick.
Topped with ice cream.
And chocolate syrup.
It’s been one of those weeks.
One of those running behind on everything, laundry flowing out of the baskets, pizza stain on your nice white skirt kind of weeks.
But there’s a bright spot at the end of this week.
And it’s waiting in a pool of gooey, underbaked, chocolate chip cookie dough glory.
I’m sure you remember the battle of the chocolate chip cookies. It was epic. It was melty. It was chewy, thick, soft, puffy.
The winner for best overall chocolate chip cookie was divided, but I will say there’s a clear victor when it comes to the deep dish chocolate chip cookie.
It’s The Chewy. One thousand million katillion times over, The Chewy.
Impossibly rich, buttery, caramel flavor with a golden top and a molten, gooey, chewy middle.
Making one of these really couldn’t be simpler. Whip up a batch of The Chewy cookie dough, scoop 1/2 cup (yes, you heard me right…just try to erase that number from your mind while you’re eating it) portions of dough into greased ramekins, and bake for about 20 minutes.
You could technically halve the recipe if you wanted to make only one or two cookie sundaes. But considering it’s almost as easy to make a full batch, and that this dough freezes beautifully, and that having cookies at the ready at any moment is one of the best feelings in life, I don’t think I can recommend it. Plus, why would you want only one deep dish cookie sundae? Clearly these are meant to be gawked over by a large group of friends.
When you take these from the oven they’ll be golden and puffed, but if you leave them a tad underbaked, the middles will sink. This is a good thing, because it creates the perfect little nest for a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Scoop the ice cream over the cookie while it’s still warm and you’ll have a perfect landslide of sweet cream mingling with chocolate cookie dough. It’s heaven.
So tonight…grab your sweatpants, a couple girlfriends, and some deep dish cookies and settle in for a Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman marathon.
You heard me right.
Dr. Quinn, Sully, and the whole gang are now streaming on Amazon Prime.
Cancel your weekend plans. You just got better ones.

Lmao, I was going to say the exact same thing that Yvonna @ bitter baker just said: you.are.killing.me! Damn, every week is “one of those weeks” which probably means I’ll think I’m entitled to these every weekend. I’ll die from heart disease but I’ll go a happy woman. That’s cool, right? Your photos are amazing – I just want to dive into that ramekin full of goodness.
Ummm yes. We’re entitled to these every weekend, as long as work is a thing we’re required to do every week. ๐ And geez I just want a ramekin full of goodness to be in my life every day!
Maagaawd, you’re killing me over here! This looks so delicious. Underbaked, gooey chocolate cookie dough is like the best dessert โ ever. And your photos are beautiful, which makes it look even better ๐
I agree. It’s what I order for dessert anywhere they have it–even if it’s a fancy place. ๐ There’s just nothing better!
