If you’re anything like me, there is no such thing as too many cookies, or in the case of this Cast Iron Skillet Cookie, a cookie that is too big!!
This, my friends, is an entire batch of chocolate chip cookies! One big fat deep dish chocolate chip cookie! I decided to top my Cast Iron Skillet Cookie with a handful of mini M&M’s because…..why not? Who wouldn’t want some candy coated M&M’s along with lots and lots of chocolate chips!!
Sadly, I didn’t get the picture of how this giant Cast Iron Cookie should be served. I didn’t have anyone at home to help me dig in, but, imagine…
Take this warm baked cookie from the oven…..
now, top it with a couple of big scoops of vanilla ice cream….
then, set it in the middle of the dining table.
Now, hand everyone a fork and demand them to DIG IN!!
How fun would that be!!! I’m telling you, you’ll get major Mom points!! MAJOR POINTS!!
**remember that cast iron pans stay quite hot, so remind everyone to use caution when digging in (place a couple of dishtowels or pot holders for holding onto the pan if needed).
I’ve linked up this Cast Iron Skillet Cookie over at Southern Plate’s Meal Plan Monday!! Make sure and check it out!

Hi Renee, this sounds devine! I’m just curious, if this cookie is enjoyed warm, right from the cast iron skillet, would you still put the parchment paper in the bottom? It seems like the paper would interfere with “digging in”!

I was wondering about that myself. I’m thinking on trying it this weekend
