If you have an iron skillet, you can make a skillet cookie. This recipe is enough to fill 2 skillets. I spray Pam on my skillet and then add the cookie dough. Bake at 350 degrees for 49 minutes. Don't let it overlook. Remove from oven. Let cool for about 15 minutes before serving. Serve with ice cream in the center and let everyone dig in! Enjoy!!
