Valentine's Day Skillet Cookie Recipe
Description
The cookie dough starts by melting butter in a skillet, then combining it with brown sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs. Flour, baking soda, and salt are mixed in to form the dough base, which is then folded with chocolate chips. The dough is evenly pressed back into the skillet and sprinkled with M&M's and additional chocolate chips if desired.
Baked in a preheated oven at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, the cookie achieves a golden-brown surface with a soft and chewy interior. The skillet method creates a slightly crisp edge with a moist center, offering a communal dessert suitable for sharing.
This festive cookie is ideal for Valentine's occasions or any time a large, invitational cookie is preferred over smaller cookies. The recipe is straightforward and replicable with common baking ingredients and can be adjusted slightly if using a different skillet size.
