Have I mentioned before how life changing cookie skillets can be?
Ok, maybe life-changing is a taking it a little too far. But, dessert changing, now that sound better.
The first time I made my own skillet cookie (remember this Chocolate Fudge Skillet Cookie?) I was hooked. Hooked! I mean, I’ve had them before in restaurants, but have never made my own before. And since that time, it’s been a dessert that I dream of often.
So, since it’s cold, snowy and just blah around here these days, I thought a thick and fudgy, chewy, yet soft, peanut buttery, chocolatey giant cookie, made in a skillet, would be much needed for February. Agreed?
I’ve been wanting to try this recipe for months, ever since I came across it in Cast Iron, Comfort Food Magazine. Remember that I’m a magazine hoarder? Ok, hoarder is a strong word, but I do love food magazines and always find inspiration. And since I’m in need of some cozy desserts, I thought this would be the perfect recipe to share.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1½ cups packed light brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1¼ cup old fashioned oats divided
- 2 tablespoons milk any kind (I used 2%)
- ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Vanilla ice cream for topping if desired
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325F. Lightly grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar with an electric hand mixer or stand mixer with fitted paddle attached until smooth and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add egg and vanilla. Beat until combined.
- In a small bowl, whisk flower, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture, beating until just combined.
- Beat in 3/4 cup oats and milk.
- With dampened hands, spread half of dough mixture onto bottom of prepared skillet. Spread peanut butter onto dough, followed by chocolate chips.
- Drop heaping spoonfuls of remaining dough over peanut butter mixture. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cups oat and more chocolate chips, if desired.
- Bake until center is slightly firm and cookie is golden brown, about 45-50 minutes. Cover loosely with foil the last 10 minutes of baking to prevent excess browning, if desired.
- Let cool for 15 minutes, then serve with vanilla ice cream, if desired.
