Cast Iron Skillet Chocolate Cookie

I can’t believe as an avid cook and baker it wasn’t until just a few weeks ago that I finally purchased a cast iron skillet. And now I will never be the same!

Of course there was no better way to break in the skillet than baking a delicious, over-sized cookie! I’m not even a chocolate person but this Cast Iron Skillet Chocolate Cookie is amazing. The hubs and I are obsessed! But if you do want to make it a little less chocolately omit the melted chocolate.

It’s a perfect dessert to make when hosting friends, as you can make the dough and spread it in the skillet before hand and just place in the oven when you’re ready and serve a yummy, warm cookie to your guests!
