:: M&M Skillet Cookie ::
It’s fall and I am feeling inspired by all that I see. Target really has a way of taking a hold of oneself with it’s lovely displays of Halloween and all its seasonal M&M’s. I can’t help it….the kids want chocolate chip cookies, and I am thinking we need something new… something that I actually have to think a little bit about and use one of the many gadgets that I like to covet. How many of you have this problem? I love kitchen appliances, cake plates, pans, and coffee mugs….I can go on and on. The problem is I buy them and then I sit and wait. I wait to decide the best possible recipe I will create to use in that special addition to my kitchen. So I am breaking out my Lodge cast iron and I am making it simple. Two dishes to clean and I don’t have to roll out cookies, set them aside to cool, and repeat. One pan and you get to slice your cookie out of it. Genius and easy! This M&M Skillet Cookie is simply inspired by BJ’s Restaurant. When I first arrived at Long Beach State as a Freshman, BJ’s in Belmont Shore was a fun meet-up for food, friends, and family. We would always end our meal with a Pizookie. Since my kids have recently had their first try of one, I am making an at home version… and its not going to be in a small pan. No rush to finish and we did top it with ice cream. Yum!
See what I mean about this little fall M&M’s…
Equal inspiration credits have to go to my Lodge cast iron skillet…

Notes
This looks so easy and delicious! Love the fall colored M&Ms.
Thanks Lana it really is that easy! Those darn yummy M&M’s have a way of sneaking into your home with their cute fall colors. Yum!
Oh my yummy goodness! I love making cookies in our small iron skillets. Love the pops of color the m&m’s add!
Thanks Kelly. The Fall colors and easy skillet clean up make this an great cookie. We appreciate you stopping by. Problem is one pan makes for an easier way to finish a one pan cookie đ
What size skillet do you use? A 5 inch, 7, 10? The skookie looks great!
Thanks Victoria for stopping by. I have a 10 inch lodge cast iron pan. Love it and it was very inexpensive. The cookie fits perfectly in it. If you have a smaller one, just break up the recipe into two pans. I hope that helps and hope you try it out. Let us know what you think.
Can you be more specific about the content of your article? After reading it, I still have some doubts. Hope you can help me.
