Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie

A giant buttery, crisp chocolate chip cookie baked in a cast-iron skillet and served warm topped with vanilla ice cream. A restaurant style dessert that’s easy to make at home. 

This recipe is from Jenny’s new cookbook, The Picky Palate Cookbook. Jenny was one of the first food bloggers I “knew” and she gave me one of my first blogging awards, The Smile Award. Visiting Picky Palate always makes me smile, so I was pleased when Jenny offered to send me a copy of her new cookbook, The Picky Palate Cookbook to review. Jenny’s also giving away a copy to one lucky Barbara Bakes reader. Details on how to enter are at the bottom of the post.

The Picky Palate Cookbook is a well designed cookbook. I love the spiral binding and the gorgeous pictures by Matt Armendariz, Matt Bites. It’s filled with fun, family meals and treats that even the pickiest eaters will love.

I thought about making the Oreo-stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies on the cover that Jenny’s famous for, but the warm Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie with melty ice cream was calling my name.

I saw Nestle’s Holiday Morsels with Red & Green Colored Morsels at the store recently and thought they would be a fun way to dress up a skillet cookie for the holidays.

This giant cookie was a big hit with my family. My daughter especially loved how the cast-iron skillet crisped up the bottom of cookie but the top was still soft and chewy. It’s an easy, fun treat to make and would be a perfect treat to serve during the holidays.
