Toasty, coconutty, rich, butterscotchy and deep, dark chocolatey… deliciousness in a pan cookie form!
Yes, I did it again. I made another skillet cookie. And I will probably make another one tomorrow. :o)
I can’t stop.
(In case you’re wondering, yes I have used my new cast-iron skillet* at least once a day, if not multiple times a day. I am so loving it!)
I think my favorite thing is the relatively instant results, as compared to scooping out and baking traditional cookies.
Mix this dough, press it into the pan, bake and done!
Especially with a bunch of little kids needing my time & attention, this is perfect for my life right now!
What kind of skillet cookie should I make next?
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut oil (or butter, softened)
- 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1 cup packed sweetened, flaked coconut
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Lightly grease a 10 or 12" skillet (or 9" square baking dish!).
In your large mixer bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until fluffy. Beat in the eggs, vanilla & salt until smooth.
Mix in the flour and baking soda until just well mixed.
In a bowl, stir together the butterscotch chips, coconut and chocolate chips. Remove 1 cup of this mixture and set aside to use for topping the cookie later. Mix the remaining 3 cups into the cookie dough.
Press the dough evenly into the prepared skillet, sprinkle the top with the remaining cup of chip/coconut mixture, pressing in gently, and then place in the oven to bake for 25-35 minutes, until the cookie is just set and golden brown around the edges.
Cool and then cut into wedges and serve from the pan!

I just bought it and am loving it so much I have to share it with you! Although, I do earn a very slight commission if you buy through my Amazon store… which just lets me buy more ingredients to bake with, without breaking my food budget! :o) So thank you in advance if this spurs you to spoil yourself or a loved one with a new cast-iron skillet for the holidays!
