…And I actually might post another one soon. I can’t help it that skillet cookies are so darn good, okay?


Here’s the deal with cookies: they’re kind of the perfect snack. You can dunk them in milk, or sandwich ice cream between them, or just enjoy them plain. But sometimes, the prep of chilling dough or rolling out 24 balls of goodness is just too much.

(Don’t judge me for being lazy… I’ve been indulged by, like, 3 snow days)

Plus, here’s the thing with skillet cookies: You can eat them with a spoon. (Or… slice them and enjoy a reasonable portion… I just happen to prefer the spoon-to-skillet option).

So let’s recap: no need to chill your dough, no need to make individual cookies, and easily enjoyed straight from the oven with a spoon (and some friends?).

Yeah, skillet cookies are where it’s at.

Gotta get that pretty green goodness for St. Patty’s, am I right?

Hope this giant cookie brightens up your Monday! Where I am, it’s finally starting to look like spring 🙂

    I, too, have been indulged by too many snow days. My blog is grateful. I am less so. Back to work!
    This looks amazing. And I’m a big fan of the skillet cookie. No chill time, quick. What’s not to love? Especially with a frosting swirl!

    I’m only a little grateful this isn’t gluten free because I would eat one of these every day. For life. I didn’t even know oreo had branched out to do more than regular and double stuffed. A deprived life?

    That first photo is killing me! I love anything with chocolate…and mint! The gooier, the better. I got a mini skillet over x’mas and have been planning to use for smaller versions of brownies and cookies. This is a reminder for me to take the skillet out asap!

    Wow, that looks amazing! Love the giant cookie goodness! I actually don’t think I’ve ever made a skillet cookie, and right now I’m thinking I’ve been missing out on some awesome cookie desserts! Definitely need to try that soon!

    Haha, that is fantastic that you have more skillet cookies than other kinds of cookies, I’m totally down with that! When my husband and I first started dating we’d go to this little place that had a skillet cookie. They have sadly shut down, so I need to make a skillet cookie for us, now I have just the recipe 🙂

    Ohh, this is so bright green and pretty!! I’m slightly jealous of your snow days and your skillet cookie! I’ve never made a cookie in a skillet before but it seems like the most delicious way to make a cookie 🙂

    I think I forgot there was a computer screen in between me and your pictures because I can practically smell the deliciousness all the way in Los Angeles! What a great St. Patty’s Day treat! I think I may make all of my cookies this way from now on…
