I think skillet cookies are quite possibly one of our family’s favorite methods for making cookies! The biggest thing to remember about a skillet cookie is that you want to make sure you don’t over-bake the skillet cookie.
With a skillet cookie, you want to bake the skillet cookie until just set. You want the middle to be a little soft when you take it out of the oven; or once it cools it will be too dry.
I don’t really know why, but Wednesday seems to be the perfect day for cookies. Today’s cookie of choice is Double Peanut Butter Skillet Cookie. 🙂
If you love peanut butter & chocolate, you will love this cookie!

Use any ingredients you want to. I simply looked at what I had on hand, mostly odds and ends, put together a few of my favorite flavors and that was it. I find more and more my kids love the impromptu desserts that we create. They think it’s fun to see different things thrown together that aren’t already in a recipe.
I may have mentioned this before, but I am a huge fan of the Betty Crocker Cookie Mixes. Why? Because they always turn out well and they’re very easy to work with when you have limited time.
I am telling you all this because we all have busy lives, and it’s nice to have a go-to in the pantry that you know you can easily make a tasty little dessert with.
Skillet cookies are great fun for casual get-togethers, camping, busy school nights, sleep-overs, and just about any occasion you can think of, kids love them!

MM TIP: Make sure you use an oven-safe skillet! Most skillets say on the bottom if they’re oven-safe or not. If the skillet is ove-safe but you’re not sure about the handle, simply wrap the handle in aluminum foil. Make sure handle is wrapped well.
