Has anyone made the chocolate chunk skillet cookes in the family size (12") skillet? Did you need to adjust the recipe at all? How did they turn out? The recipe calls for the 10" skillet, but all I have is the family size.

Nevermind....I found my answer in the so what are you making in August....thread.
 
I have made the chocolate chunk skillet cookies in the family size skillet before and they turned out great! I did need to adjust the recipe a bit by increasing the ingredients by about 1/4 to accommodate the larger size of the skillet. I also had to bake them for a few minutes longer to ensure that they were fully cooked in the center. Overall, they were a hit with my family and I will definitely be making them again in the future.
