If you need to make a sweet treat for one person, try this microwave pizookie! A gluten free, vegan, deep dish chocolate chip cookie is just the thing for those days when you need a comforting dessert.
Do you know what’s in that photo up there? One of the best desserts of all time. It’s a microwave pizookie! A single serving deep dish chocolate chip cookie.
Now, if you haven’t had a pizookie before, then you are missing out! There’s nothing like a warm, melty, deep dish chocolate chip cookie topped with vanilla ice cream. Now if you are in need of a larger dessert to share, you may want to try this gluten free chocolate chip skillet cookie that serves 4-6 people.
It’s so easy to make this version in the microwave though, and it’s equally delicious. I think you’ll love this restaurant-style dessert. It’s the perfect treat to make when you want to stay in and enjoy a movie at home.
If you’d like to try other single serving desserts, try this chocolate mug cake or this microwave cherry crisp.
Top Tip
Please remember these two things: Do NOT try to cook this dessert using full power, and do NOT walk away from the microwave the first time you try it. It’s only a minute – just hang out and keep an eye on it. If it looks like it may be done, stop the microwave and check. Mug cakes and cookies can easily overcook and turn hard as a rock if you aren’t careful.
Ingredient Notes
- Gluten Free Flour Blend – I like to use Namaste Perfect Flour Blend for cookies, and it works well in this recipe. You could try a different brand, like 1-2-3 Gluten Free or Better Batter.
- Vegan Buttery Spread – We like Earth Balance Soy Free Vegan Buttery Spread. You should be able to use a different brand if that’s your preference.
- Dairy Free Chocolate Chips – Both Enjoy Life and PASCHA Chocolate make delicious allergy friendly chocolate chips.
- Dairy Free Ice Cream – Use any brand of ice cream that works for you! If you can’t find a brand that’s safe for you, try my recipe for dairy free chocolate chip ice cream.
Special Equipment
I used a small ceramic dish that is four inches across, but you could definitely use a mug or ramekin that is three inches across. It may take a few extra seconds to cook, but there really won’t be much difference.
Substitutions
You can experiment with what works for your dietary needs! Regular flour will work, regular butter will work, and you could probably use almond meal if that’s your preference. Customize this easy dessert to fit your needs.

Just made this tonight for dessert, Yummo!
I subbed: 2 tbsps coconut sugar instead of 2.5 tbsps regular sugar; added 1 teaspoon of rolled oats & 1/4 teaspoon of coconut oil in addition to the vegan butter..
It was super ooey gooey delicious :)

Hi! really nice recipe, but what do you mean by 1/16 teaspoon baking soda? I don’t have a measurement like that.
Kelly
Hi there, it’s basically a pinch – if you have a 1/4 teaspoon measuring spoon, just eyeball that and fill it a quarter of the way full. Hope that helps!
