What Is a Cookie Skillet?
A cookie skillet is essentially a large, soft cookie baked in a cast-iron skillet instead of individual cookies. Through this baking method, you get crisp golden edges and a soft gooey center…
…plus, an ultra large cookie: and who would say no to that?
I love making oversized cookies in cast iron skillet. I find they’re perfect for celebrations, birthdays, or when you want a dessert that feels extra special.
