I’ve never wanted to eat something that is so cute so quickly.

Now of course – if you like peanut butter cookies, you will love it. It’s a giant peanut butter cookie. And I do really love peanut butter cookies. But what gets me are the toppings. I’m all about those, not just because I love them but because then appease my inner 13-year old. Like I want to put on some sparkly heels, maybe a feather boa, some fake lashes, glitter nail polish and just sit at a table and eat them.

Maybe with a pink fork.

Too much?

This is definitely one of those “all go at it” treats. If you’re going to make a skillet cookie, why bother attempting to cut it into pretty squares or triangles or whatever? Who has time for that? Who has PATIENCE for that? That’s what baking dishes are for – bake it in a square and cut it if that’s what you want.

In a skillet, just throw the stuff on top and freaking have at it. Lots of spoons. And listen, I can be sort of weird about sharing things (i.e. eating off the same fork, drinking out of the same bottle) even when it comes to those closest to me, but with dessert there are no limits. You know this.

So. Seriously. I don’t care if you use this recipe or a box of brownies or if you even go buy some already made cookies and throw them in a skillet. Just piled a bunch of stuff on top, preferably a boatload of sprinkles and go.to.town.
