Can Any Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe be Baked in a Skillet?
Do you have a boxed cookie mix on hand, and wondering if you can bake it in a cast iron skillet?
The answer is a resounding YES! In fact, I used this Betty Crocker bag mix just the other day to make a quick skillet chocolate chip cookie.
Just follow the instructions on the bag, and then bake for about 20-24 minutes.
Now, don’t get me wrong… my HOMEMADE skillet cookie is definitely superior.
