This Snickerdoodle Skookie is a big snickerdoodle cookie studded with cinnamon chips baked in a cast iron skillet served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Last month when my brother and his family were visiting me, I learned that my nephew is crazy about snickerdoodle cookies. So, of course, I had to bake him my family’s favorite Snickerdoodle cookie, Cinnamon Chip Snickerdoodles.
They’re probably the best snickerdoodle cookie ever, and he pretty much devoured them, which definitely made me smile.
My sister-in-law joked that she was going to start a blog name Kathy Eats, then I’d mail whatever I’ve baked to Las Vegas, and she’d eat it and say how much she liked it. My husband joked that I should bake and send her a Snickerdoodle Skookie (a skillet cookie).
I wasn’t able to get the idea of a Snickerdoodle Skookie off my mind, so I divided the Snickerdoodle cookie recipe in half and created this skookie recipe. I topped it with some vanilla ice cream and I couldn’t resist adding cinnamon chips to the ice cream as well.
I’m pretty sure you could mail a skookie, but unfortunately for Kathy and my nephew, Kathy Eats just isn’t in the cards, and this Snickerdoodle skookie didn’t end up in the mail.
Hopefully, they’ll visit again soon and I’ll bake it for them then.

Barbara,
It’s tough mailing goodies in the mail during the summer. I do it during the Christmas season because everyone wants my pizzelle cookies.
Your skookie looks delicious. Pinned.

Oh fun! I have a cast iron skillet now so NO EXCUSES not to try this wonderful looking SKOOKIE……that name just makes me smile. 🙂
I laughed when I read your sister-in-law’s brilliant idea. That’s cute. Hey-at least she TRIED to sell you on it. I bet her family was all about it being a swell idea too. Who wouldn’t? Getting mail with your home baked goodies in it? That would be heavenly!

Thanks Carol – it would be fun for sure, but a whole other can of worms 🙂
