Oh, cookies….when I was a kid, there was an Original Cookie Co bakery in our local mall, and I used to press my face against the glass display case and drool over the ginormous skillet cookie….of course, no one ever wanted to buy that huge cookie pie with me, so I settled for individual chocolate chip cookies. OH, THE AGONY! This Valentine’s Day Skillet Cookie Recipe reminds me of those beautiful skillet cookies of my childhood, and it’s just perfect for decorating with pink M&Ms for Valentine’s Day!
Have a school bake sale or church function coming up? Bring this beauty along and see how quickly you become everyone’s best friend! Or simply make it for the family to show them just how much you adore them this Valentine’s Day.

February 11, 2017 at 4:01 pmThis looks as yummy as it is pretty! I’d love to try this tomorrow, Sunday 02/12/17). What size iron skillet does it take? Since I do not have, nor can handle, the largest size, I’m hoping it can be baked in a regular pie dish. Thank you so much, Linda.

February 11, 2017 at 5:38 pmLooks so good! I’m anxious to make this for Valentine’s Day for friends. Would you share the size of the cast iron skillet you used, please. I would guess 12″.
Thanks.

February 11, 2017 at 8:57 pmI am looking at your Valentine’s Day Skillet Cookie. Perhaps a silly question, but what size is your cast iron skillet?
Seems like cooking time, etc. would depend on the size of your skillet
