Yesterday I was cruising through the blogosphere, checking up on my favorite blogs, when I arrived at
Tidymon's. I was instantly drawn to a
guest post from Melissa of No. 2 Pencil, featuring a Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie. My husband and I had recently gone out to dinner and shared a warm skillet (smaller version) chocolate chip cookie a la mode for dessert, so I was familiar with its yumminess. When I saw Melissa's post, I knew right then and there, I was going to make a skillet cookie ASAP!
I decided I would make a sugar cookie variation, with every intention of doing it from scratch, but somewhere between grabbing the flour and the sugar, I remembered that I had a bag of Betty Crocker's sugar cookie mix to use up. It was a cinch to throw together. I added a colorful combination of m&m's (purchased from the 4-story m&m store in Las Vegas) and topped the dough off with sprinkles:) Isn't it pretty?
As you can see, I was so anxious to taste the warm cookie wedge, that I couldn't wait until after I snapped the photos before taking the first bite. It was delicious! Crispy around the edges, chewy sugar cookie goodness in the middle, studded with m&m candies...doesn't get much better than that.
It's great cut into wedges, or grab some forks and fellow cookie lovers, and dig in! Don't forget the milk!
Skillet Sugar Cookie
A batch of sugar cookie dough (a mix or homemade)
1 cup of m&m chocolate candies
A smattering of sprinkles
A 10-inch cast iron skillet, prepared with oil (I used a paper towel and spread a thin layer of oil)
Mix up cookie dough according to directions (or recipe). Add candies and blend into dough. Spread evenly into skillet. Scatter sprinkles over dough. Bake according to directions. That's it!
Eat warm, or let cool. Cut into wedges. ENJOY!

ReplyDeleteFabulous photos! These cookies look like so much fun to make!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty cookie and it would make them nice and soft in the center. I searched and searched and searched to find my little pizzookie pans that I had posted ages ago and couldn't find them. Of course I figured someone had borrowed them, but yesterday I cleaned out the bowl cabinet and found them - tucked in the back corner! They would be perfect for this!
ReplyDeleteI've seen the skillet cookies done with chocolate chip cookie batter but never with sugar cookie batter. This is such a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI love skillet cookies, this is so pretty!!!
ReplyDeleteSkillet cookies are awesome!! You have me convinced I need to get my skillet out and make something delicious!!! I heart all the m&m's and sprinkles that you included in yours:-)

Cheers!
The grandkids will be here for Labor Day--this will be on the menu! And just maybe I'll take the easy route and grab a sugar cookie mix. They won't care. Sprinkles and M&M's hide much!
ReplyDeleteYep, I used the sugar cookie mix and they turned out sooo good! Have fun!
DeleteThis is so pretty. It makes me happy just by looking at eat. Hm...imagine I get my hands on a big piece of this skillet sugar cookie! I love your pretty sprinkles. :)
ReplyDeleteVery clever Sue. I don't have a cast iron skillert, but this is a great idea. It looks so fun and unusual. Joni
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing. I love the color explosion.
ReplyDeleteMy little one is too small to be eating cookies yet but as soon as he does, i am making this for him. He would love this since he loves colorful stuff...heheh
ReplyDeleteWonderful cookie and beautiful pictures :)
What a cool idea. Its something new and unique. I've never thought a skillet can be used to bake a cookie. Amazing. Thanks for the idea.

Can you make in a regular skillet if you do not have a cast iron skiller?
ReplyDeleteAs long as your skillet can go into the oven, I don't see why not:)
DeleteYum! It's easier than making individual cookies. Cut & Serve! Yum!
ReplyDeleteOh no, how do you make this? Mine's been in the oven double the amount of time and it's just sitting there like soup. Wonder what gives... bummer.
ReplyDeleteOooh it's sooooo gooood. I love skillet cookies.
ReplyDeleteI found a packet of sugar cookie mix last night and put it back away, settling for pudding. Pudding?! It looks like today I'll be breaking out the cast iron and getting that sugar cookie mix back out. Excited to try this!
ReplyDeleteI it is really awesome work i like your work nice and awesome job...
ReplyDeleteI use my 6" cast iron skillet to make a pizza base on the stove. The raw dough is cooked in about 5 mins. So it is not only quicker, but saves money in energy costs. I'll definitely try this sweet cookie on the stove. I'm sure ' little hands ' would love a giant cookie! I might experiment with a lavender shortbread dough to see how it turns out.
ReplyDeletewhat temp????
ReplyDeleteYour a complete stupid lazy person for not doing it from scratcg!yourso is the only one I get in typing sugar cookies from skillet in Google! I need a made from scratch! Gross
