    A giant chocolate chip coconut cookie baked in a cast-iron skillet. I subbed coconut oil for the butter to up the coconut flavor even more and make the cookie a little more heart-healthy.  

    My family has become a bit obsessed with the skillet cookie since I baked it in November. My son has even started asking me to bake him a skookie (skillet + cookie) on a regular basis. When I Googled to see if there were other skookie recipes, I found there’s actually a cast iron pan set you can buy just for making skookies. I’ve also seen them called Pizookie (pizza + cookie).

    I had the Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookie from Paradise Bakery in mind when I adapted this recipe from The Picky Palate cookbook. I love the addition of shredded coconut to a chocolate chip cookie.

    I decided to take it one step further and used coconut oil instead of butter in the recipe. The top of the skillet cookie is a little bit flaky using the coconut oil, a wonderful contrast to the chewy edges and gooey middle.

      I’ve never tried adding coconut to chocolate chip cookies! I can’t wait to try it because I love coconut (and chocolate chip cookies!).

      I love using my cast iron skillets but it’s been ages since I last make a snookie (had no idea that’s how it’s called). Yours looks amazing Barbara!
