A bar cookie made in a cast iron skillet. The middle is soft and loaded with gooey chocolate and peanut butter chips, a perfect contrast to the crispy, chewy edges.
We’re still in love with the skookie at our house. You use half the batter of a traditional cookie, so it comes to together quickly and cooks up in half the time of thicker bar cookie recipes. Perfect for those nights when your sweet tooth comes calling.
You don’t even have to worry about spreading the dough all the way to the edges of the pan. In fact, it’s really better if you don’t since the cookie will spread as it cooks.
I used smooth peanut butter in this recipe, but you could also use chunky peanut butter. Or maybe even better, stir some finely chopped peanuts in to the batter along with the chips.
To serve, I like to use a pizza cutter to cut it in to wedges. If you like peanut butter cookies, you’ll love this peanut butter chocolate chip skillet cookie. I know I do.
