Notes
*Preheated Oven: Make sure the oven is fully preheated before placing the pazookie desserts into the oven.
*Cookie Sheet: Placing the ramekins on a cookie sheet makes it easier to put them in the oven and remove.
*5-inch ramekin: The 5-inch ramekin works perfectly for 3 deep dish cookies
*Eat while warm: The caramel at the bottom tends to harden up a little when it cools, but this dessert is a warm and luscious treat if eaten warm. If it cools, warm up and serve. Super DELICIOUS!!!
