Cookies Cream Skillet Cookie

 

Hey there, friend! Can I just say, there’s something so wonderfully comforting about baking a giant skillet cookie? It’s like wrapping yourself in a cozy blanket after a long day. This particular recipe for a Cookies Cream Skillet Cookie has a special place in my heart, birthed from a random craving one rainy afternoon. The aroma of melting chocolate wafting through the house transport you to your happiest place. Whether you’re gathered around the kitchen island with loved ones or enjoying a peaceful moment on the couch, this is the dessert that has everyone asking for seconds – or maybe even thirds!

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • Easy to Make: Just mix, pour, and bake – no complicated steps here!
  • Perfect for Sharing: This giant cookie is perfect for gatherings or a sweet family treat.
  • Indulging Flavors: It combines creamy goodness with chocolate chips, creating the ultimate dessert experience.
  • Versatile: You can easily swap out ingredients to suit your cravings or dietary needs.

Ingredients

Gathering the ingredients is half the fun! Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (let it sit out for about 30 minutes to soften for easy mixing)
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed (this gives the cookie that lovely caramel flavor)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (don’t skimp on the good stuff!)
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup crushed cookies and cream cookies (like Oreos or your favorite brand)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Now, let’s dive into the actual baking part – the fun begins!

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This way, it’s nice and hot when your cookie hits the pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until it’s fluffy and light. A couple of minutes of mixing will do the trick.
  3. Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until everything is combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients. Be careful not to overmix; this will keep your cookie nice and chewy.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips and crushed cookies and cream cookies with a spatula. This is where the magic happens!
  6. Pour the cookie dough into a well-greased 12-inch cast-iron skillet (or any oven-safe skillet you have). Spread it out evenly – it doesn’t have to be perfect.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. Don’t worry if it looks a little soft; it will firm up as it cools.
  8. Once it’s out of the oven, let it cool in the skillet for about 10 minutes. You might want to grab a cup of tea or coffee during this time!

Pro Tips & Variations

Got a craving for something a bit different? Here are some fun twists to try:

  • Nutty Delight: Add a cup of chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans to give it extra crunch.
  • Fruity Flavor: Toss in some seasonal berries – think raspberries or cherries – for a tangy surprise.
  • White Chocolate Bliss: Swap out the semi-sweet chocolate chips for white chocolate chips for a sweeter treat!
  • Gluten-Free Option: You can use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend if you’re looking to avoid gluten.

Serving Suggestions

This Cookies Cream Skillet Cookie is seriously versatile and can be served up in so many delicious ways. Here are a few ideas to get your creativity flowing:

  • Ice Cream Topping: Serve warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The melting ice cream with the warm cookie? Pure bliss.
  • Drizzle it Up: Drizzle chocolate or caramel sauce on top for an extra indulgent treat.
  • Cut and Share: Use a knife to cut it into slices, almost like a pie, and enjoy it with friends and family – or, you know, just yourself!
  • Pair with Coffee: This cookie pairs perfectly with a warm mug of coffee or hot cocoa, especially on cozy nights.

Storage Tips

If you somehow have leftovers (though I doubt it!), here’s how to store them:

  • Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. The cookie will still be soft, just perfect for snacking!
  • Refrigeration: If you live in a warm climate, pop it in the fridge, and it’ll last up to a week.
  • Freezing: To freeze, cut the cookie into squares, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap, and then place them in a freezer-safe container. They should stay good for about 2 months.
  • Reheating: Pop it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to warm it up again. Maybe add a little more ice cream on top – I won’t tell!

FAQs

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can prepare the dough, shape it into a disc, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate it for up to 3 days. When you’re ready, just let it come to room temperature and bake it as usual.

What if I don’t have a cast-iron skillet?

No problem! You can use any oven-safe skillet or even an 8×8-inch baking dish. Just keep an eye on the baking time, as it may vary slightly.

Can I substitute any ingredients to make it healthier?

Of course! You can use coconut oil instead of butter, reduce the sugar, or replace half of the flour with oats for added texture. It’s all about making it work for you!

What’s the best way to serve this cookie?

While you can certainly enjoy it straight from the skillet, I recommend serving it warm with a scoop of ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate sauce. It’s such a fabulous treat!

There you have it, your very own Cookies Cream Skillet Cookie! I hope you get as much joy out of making and sharing this delightful dessert as I do.
