Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookies

Once you bake your chocolate chip cookies in a cast iron skillet, there’s no going back to baking them off the old way. I’ve been making this very same dough for twenty years, for after school snacks, and school parties. But, they’ve never tasted as good as they do when baked in these little skillets.

Equipment:

The Skillets- You don’t need 8. I just bake a couple at a time, so they’re always warm and melty.
A Food Processor- This is needed to get the oats fine enough to blend into the dough.
A Mixer or a Wooden spoon- You can use either one, but it’s important not to overbeat the dough.

Recipe Tips:

If you don’t have skillets these can be baked on parchment lined sheets at 350 degrees for 16 minutes. Use a quarter cup of dough per cookie.
I’ve made these with all organic ingredients, and all generic ingredients. They taste great either way.
The dough can be frozen, and baked while frozen. Just cook them for a few extra minutes.
