Notes
- Skillet cookies are an excellent dessert for non-cake lovers.
- If you have a 10" skillet instead of a 12" skillet, you will need to bake the cookie longer, and it will be a thicker skillet cookie.
- For a fun different idea, you can use mini cast iron skillets to make personal skillet cookies and personalize them the way each individual would like!
- If you prefer to cook the skillet cookie on the stove, be sure to check that it isn't burning on the bottom or undercooking in the center of the skillet cookie.
