Tips

• This recipe makes (2) 8 inch skillet cookies. If you’d like just (1) skillet, make the rest in actual cookies. You’ll get about 20 of them.Try making one big cookie in a 16” cast iron skillet.
• Instead of the sucanat sugar – use maple syrup, coconut sugar or cane sugar.

Variations

Here are some great ideas on to change up your cookie ingredients:

1. Add 1/2 cup of peanut butter to the cookie dough when you are mixing the wet ingredients.
2. Use white or peanut butter chips.
3. Add chopped pecans when you are mixing the chocolate chips into the dough.
4. Drizzle maple syrup or a chocolate sauce on top of the ice cream or whipped cream.

Can Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie Dough Be Frozen?

Yes, it can. That’s the best thing about this. You can make a few batches ahead of time and store them in the freezer. Just soften the dough in the fridge for about 15 minutes. It needs to be slightly firm but not rock solid. Form the dough into discs and wrap in plastic wrap. Place them either in beeswax paper or a ziplock bag. Be sure and write the date on the bag. Will store in the freezer for 2 months.

When you are ready to bake them, take the dough out of the freezer and let thaw. Form it up in the cast iron skillet and bake according to the directions.
