Plus, who doesn’t love those huge cookies you find in grocery store bakeries?! It’s hard to resist such a big and yummy cookie.

I have been looking for a great skillet cookie recipe for a long time now thats not chocolate. I finally found one that I cant wait to try here and its so pretty thanks for sharing!
Aww, a frosted cookie!! So cute. Love the pretty pink. I would so be able to have the whole skillet all by myself. I am a huge cookie monster. Saving this for later.
Cookies are one of my very favorite treats! And if I can make it in one skillet instead of making perfect little rounds on a cookie sheet – well, that’s even better. I like the nice thick wedge — it looks so yummy. Great idea.
What a great way to celebrate with. Fun to make and fun to eat. The presentation is awesome….love my cast iron pans.
