What is a Cast Iron Skillet Cookie?
This is a copycat of a popular dessert at the restaurant B.J.'s. Â They call it a pizookie, because it resembles a deep dish pizza in cookie form. Â A casting iron skillet cookie is just what is sounds like - a cookie made in a skillet. Â It is topped with ice cream and chocolate sauce.

How Do You Make a Cast Iron Skillet Cookie?
The secret to those crispy edges and soft center in a skillet cookie is melting your butter before creating your recipe. Â I know it sounds crazy - because melted butter in a regular cookie will create pancake flat cookies. Â But melted butter in a skillet cookie is perfection.

2. Add eggs and vanilla, mix to combine.
3. Add flour.
4. Sprinkle in salt, and baking soda. Mix until combined.
4. Stir in chocolate chips.
6. Divide into thirds and smooth each portion into an 8.5 inch skillet. Bake for 18-20 minutes until center is set and edges are golden. See notes for different baking times based on skillet size.
8. Top with ice cream and chocolate syrup.
