Salted Caramel Skillet Cookie

Salted Caramel Skillet Cookie is a thick & chewy chocolate chip cookie (often called a Pizookie) that’s baked in a skillet & loaded with salted caramel.

Do you have a dessert recipe that the family is over the top in love with? For us, it’s skillet cookies. Maybe it’s because it’s just one giant cookie & that’s just super fun. Or maybe it’s that it’s a dessert we all dive into together & share. I’m not sure what it is about skillet cookies, but it’s the one thing the whole family gathers in the kitchen for. They hover & wait for me to pull it out of the oven & they are practically burning themselves trying to shovel it into their mouths faster than the person standing next to them. It’s a sight to see, that’s for sure. I love making them & we sure love eating them. My absolute favorite is this recipe with salted caramel. It’s positively divine!
