Easy Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookies

Easy Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookies

One of our favorite family desserts is Chocolate Chip Cookies.  But, as a busy mom, I don’t always have time to make dozens and dozens of cookies (and the texture of my cookies is never right).  A great alternative to individual cookies is a skillet chocolate chip cookie.  You get the same great taste of a chocolate chip cookie, but it takes less time and your family will love their treat.

When I was growing up, I spent lots of time baking with my grandmother.  She always baked with a black cast iron skillet.  It seemed like she was always cooking with her cast iron skillet.  To this day, I love to cook with my iron skillets too.  If you don’t have a cast iron skillet of your own, here’s one of my favorite cast iron skillets that would be a great starter one for you.

A skillet cookie has so many variations you can add.  You can add a scoop of ice cream or chocolate syrup.  You can also add strawberries on the side.  A skillet chocolate chip cookie will be a favorite in your home before you know it, just like it’s a favorite with our family.
