To the entire population of my local Target, I sincerely apologize for being THAT PERSON who attempted to check out yesterday while on my phone the entire time. Ew.
I wish I could make you this skillet cookie. Or ten of these skillet cookies.
I swear, that’s normally not me. Let me make it up to you. This should cure all.
Actually, I’m positive that it cures all and I’m about to make two more this weekend in order to cure a little hangover, a little rainy weather, a dog-chewed shoe and an almost empty wallet. Thanks Target.
This cookie… is fab.
I mean, it was just kinda sorta good. Just kinda sorta.
Clearly. Check out the recipe on Tasty Kitchen!
I’m Jessica and this is where I share my stuff. You will find a balance of healthy recipes, comfort food and indulgent desserts.
Not a good thing to read while drinking my coffee – now I want chocolate chip cookies for breakfast!

I’m bookmarking the recipe for my next party.

This is home for me. Pure deliciousness.

I want one NOW!! Ok, well maybe after I stop this coughing fit…UGH!!!
I LOVE making these for the family, but not when some of us are sick. Sometimes it’s not good to share.
*cough, cough* Ok, I have to go now this is getting ridiculous!
Enjoy your weekend!

What a serious cookie and a serious size, it’s already bookmarked!

Just for a second I thought the ice cream in the middle was a pile of butter.

I’m not a cook (or a chocolate lover sorry) but my friends would adore this – but can I make it in a non cast iron pan?

As long as the skillet is oven-safe, yes!

I will be making this today! I have everything and I just know it will be a HUGH hit here. My 3 years hates cakes and only loves cookies and he is going to love me forever with this. Also my pregnant self will be eating this in the next hour since I am going to start baking now. It will be my right after breakfast snack! Thank you so much! My family thanks you!

OHMAGAH! It’s cool and rainy today in Boston and I’m making this! Just wondering what size skillet you have. You said yours is larger than 8″ so you doubled the recipe. Mine is about 9.5″ so I’m not sure if I should double it. Help! Thanks!!!
Reply
Jessica — June 2nd, 2012 @ 10:54 am
Mine is 12.5! I wouldn’t double it either if I were you, but if you don’t it might be really thin. Maybe do 1.5 of the recipe? A pain, but it will be worth it!

oh man, this would be dangerous in our house. both my husband and i are huge fans of pizookies (pizza cookies) which is what this totally reminds me of! yum!

Oh my gosh . . . I can hardly even think straight after looking at those pictures. This looks beyond delicious. I don’t think I’ll be satisfied until I make and devour one (or two, or three, or . . . ). THANKS FOR NOTHING, JESSICA. THERE GOES MY WEEKEND.

Hi! i have a smaller skillet, can i split the dough and save some for later? should i freeze the dough?
Thanks!
PS: this looks absolutely delicious!! :)

Jessica — June 2nd, 2012 @ 2:13 pm
I think you can but I’m not positive since I haven’t tried it. I don’t see why not!
Reply
Yum! I want to make this. Like now.

I made this last night, but it didn’t quite turn out. It was delicious, but it was crumbly when I put it into the oven. I was hoping that it would all melt together as it cooked. Even though it didn’t, it was still wonderful.
But now I am noticing the pictures. You have TWO sticks of butter in the pictures, but only one stick listed in the recipe. That would make all the difference in the world as to how the batter looks going into the oven. Is that what the recipe should say is TWO sticks of butter?
I’ve never been in the wrong when adding MORE butter! : ) Maybe I should try it again tonight with a little more. I doubt anyone would complain…

Captain Micah – the same question was asked on the Tasty Kitchen website – here is the response “In the post, Jessica mentions that her skillet is larger than the 8″ size called for in the recipe, and so she doubled the recipe. That’s why you see 2 sticks in her photo instead of just one. (I say we storm her place and help her polish off that ginormous cookie. I’m going to pretend they haven’t finished the whole thing yet and knock on her door anyway.)” Hope this helps.

Yep this is correct! I mention it in the TK post – my skillet is 12.5 inches and very deep. If you use the 8 inch skillet as the recipe calls for, I definitely wouldn’t add another stick of butter. I’m honestly not sure why it was crumbly – did you really whisk the sugars well??

I want to eat this entire cookie with a huge scoop of vanilla ice cream!

GAH! I literally stood with a cast iron skillet in my hands today for this exact reason and I didn’t get it! Now I really wish I had!
Reply
Woah. How good does that look! I’m currently on the lookout for dark chocolate recipes for a Superfoods for the Brain special I am writing so this is perfect. Think I will have to link to this recipe – YUM!

Oooo I saw this on the tasty kitchen blog a few days ago and I was smitten!

Ooooooooo I’ve been drooling since I saw this at the Tasty Kitchen a few days ago. First step….getting a iron skillet. Why don’t I have one?
Reply
Oh boy after the day I had yesterday I NEED one of these all to myself.

Alas I am allergic to “chocolate chocolate” if that makes any sense?
I can only eat white chocolate……you Jessica make many recipes with
chocolate that I have been able to avoid……that is until NOW!!!
I must make – have this “cookie”. You being the “expert” of all
food products (she says truly from the heart ❤ in awe) can you
recommend a white chocolate bar to use or anything else for me to
sub?????
Totally luv what you do……pardon typos!
Reply
So, I baked this no more than 7 seconds after you posted the recipe. And, no, I am not ashamed of that. I will never bake regular cookies again…it was amazing!
Reply
There’s a chance that I bought a cast iron skillet today just so I could make this… It’s sooooo good! Yummmmm!

Jessica, I just got a brand new cast iron pan at my bridal shower. I was wondering what is your favorite method for seasoning yours?
Reply
Jessica — June 4th, 2012 @ 8:45 am
I actually have never seasoned mine… it was preseasoned and then I had a chef friend take it and season it for me… I honestly am not sure but Robin from Add a Pinch has a good post on this! http://addapinch.com/living/2012/01/19/cast-iron-101-how-to-season-cast-iron/

Ok soooooooooo I totally need a cast iron skillet pan now. I’ve seen waaaaaaaaay too many skillet cookies lately and i can’t take it. I’m in large melty cookie withdrawal! Yours looks way too good to be true Jessica!
Reply
holy moly…that looks insanely good. i’m pretty sure i’d eat the whole thing myself…eeek

Made this last night, but I separated the batter into 4 rammekins… we covered them with Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla when they came out of the oven…. HEAVENLY!

I need to buy a cast iron skillet. Like, now.
Meanwhile I pine away for this skillet cookie…

I’m totally making this tonight! My cast iron pan is huge too; how long did you end up cooking it?

Again, Jessica…I have such a love/hate relationship with you. Your blog is the only one I read daily and can’t wait to see what deliciousity you have goin’ on! You could nearly be a southern girl. :)
