Anyone ever make a cookie in the 12' skillet? Saw someone do a chocolate chip cookie and then put stuff on top. I made it and it turned out okay. Any advice?
 
I just got my 12" skillet and have not had the time to try any recipes but I have heard plenty of people here talk about it so soon you'll get your answer. Why was it not so great?

I think I cooked it too long so it was a bit crunch - I want soft like the grocery store kind. I also put Snickers on top and thought something else would be better - looking for suggestions. I'm attaching a file I got off this site that has some Family Skillet recipes you might find helpful.

Thanks for sharing!
 
I love it! thanks for sharing! I was looking for something to make at Saturday's show.
 
I have made the chocolate chip skillet cookie twice now. I just make it at home and take it to my shows and talk about what I did. It has been a big hit. People are very impressed that our cookware goes in the oven.

This is a great recipe to showcase the cookware for pan-a-rama.

I used the Symphony candy bar. I always pull the cookie out 5 min. earlier than normal, just so I get the soft, chewy effect.

I still demo something else at the show, but this has been a great dessert.

It is so quick and easy.

Love it!!! :thumbup:

Thanks for Sharing those are some yummie recipes!!!
 
I've done it in my Roasting Pan, great for a big crowd. Use 3 rolls of cookie dough. I usually do mini M&M's on top, especially around holidays like Easter, Christmas and Halloween.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Skillet Cookie and how is it different from regular cookies?

A Skillet Cookie is a large, thick cookie baked in a skillet, typically served warm and often topped with ice cream or other toppings. Unlike regular cookies that are individually baked on a baking sheet, a Skillet Cookie is baked as a single, cohesive dessert that can be sliced and shared.

What type of pan is best for making a Skillet Cookie?

The best pan for making a Skillet Cookie is a 12-inch cast iron skillet or a non-stick skillet. Cast iron retains heat well and provides even baking, while non-stick pans make it easier to remove the cookie without sticking.

How do I prevent my Skillet Cookie from burning or overcooking?

To prevent burning or overcooking, keep an eye on the baking time and check for doneness a few minutes before the recommended time. You can also lower the oven temperature slightly and extend the baking time to ensure the cookie cooks evenly without burning.

Can I customize my Skillet Cookie with different mix-ins?

Absolutely! You can customize your Skillet Cookie by adding various mix-ins such as chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruits, or even candy pieces. Just be mindful of the total volume of mix-ins to ensure the cookie bakes properly.

What are some serving suggestions for a Skillet Cookie?

Skillet Cookies are delicious served warm, topped with a scoop of ice cream, whipped cream, or drizzled with chocolate or caramel sauce. You can also serve it with fresh fruit or a dusting of powdered sugar for an added touch.
