Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie
Sometimes (especially with cookies) bigger is better. This Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie is the biggest and quickest cookie you can mix up.
Have you ever made a skillet cookie? If you haven’t you should. Seriously they are awesome, and this Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie is my official favorite weeknight cookie.
Much to my families chagrin I usually hate making cookies on a weeknight, and so it rarely happens.
No matter how badly I need a cookie fix too, the endless scooping, rotating cookie sheets and cooling don’t mesh well with dinner, homework (half of which I don’t understand) and all the other things that need to be squeezed between 4-8:30 pm.
But this Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie dramatically streamlines the process, with only 3 steps.
- Mix up the cookie dough- 10 minutes tops, and that includes searching high and low for misplaced vanilla extract.
- Wait for the cookie to bake and cool- 25-30 minutes
- Eat the giant cookie- and wonder where this cookie recipe has been all your life.
So easy it could be dangerous. 😉
