What You’ll Need
Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make this delicious peanut butter and jelly cookie at home. See the recipe card located at the bottom of the post for full instructions.
- Butter– I use salted butter for my cooking and baking. Unsalted works too.
- Granulated Sugar– Granulated sugar helps sweeten the cookie dough.
- Brown Sugar– I use light brown sugar for the recipe, it also helps sweeten the skillet cookie.
- Egg– For consistency, I use large eggs for my cooking and baking.
- Vanilla– Use pure vanilla extract for best tasting results.
- All-Purpose Flour– Flour is the main dry ingredient in the skillet cookie.
- Salt– I generally use kosher salt for my recipes.
- Baking Soda– Baking soda helps the cookies rise during baking.
- Chocolate Chunks– I like to get my chocolate from Trader Joe’s and cut into chunks myself.
- White Chips- Find white chips in the baking section of the grocery store near the other chocolate chips.
- Creamy Peanut Butter– Use your favorite brand of peanut butter for the recipe.
- Jam or Jelly– Use your favorite flavor of jam or jelly for the recipe.
How To Make Peanut Butter and Jelly Skillet Cookie
Preheat Oven. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly spray a 10 inch cast iron skillet with cooking spray.
Cream Butter and Sugars. Place softened butter and sugars into a large mixing bowl. Mix until all combined. Stir in egg and vanilla mixing to combine.
Dry Ingredients. Slowly stir in flour, baking soda, salt, chocolate chunks and white chips. Once combined, transfer to prepared cast iron skillet, pressing evenly.
Add Peanut Butter and Jelly. Place peanut butter and jelly into 2 separate heat proof bowls. Microwave for 15-20 seconds until warm and liquid like. Drizzle jelly evenly over top of cookie dough, then drizzle peanut butter.
Bake. Bake for 30 minutes, or until baked through. Remove from oven and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve warm or room temperature.
Tips For Making The Best Cookies
- Don’t alter the recipe, use all ingredients as listed.
- For a more firm cookie, refrigerate your cookie dough for 24 hours before baking.
- Always use butter, not margarine. ALWAYS. I prefer salted butter for my chocolate chip cookies.
- Don’t skip creaming your butter and sugars for a good 1-2 minutes. Helps create a fluffy, chewy cookie.
- Try sprinkling dough with just a touch of salt for a perfect sweet and salty combination.
- Don’t overtake your cookies. Cookies will continue to cook in skillet when removed from oven.
- Careful when removing hot skillet from oven, the handle stays hot for some time. Make sure the handle is covered with a heat proof covering.
- Let cookies cool completely before storing in containers. This will keep their crispness
- Store leftover cookies in an airtight container for 3 days room temperature.
How To Serve
Serve skillet cookie warm right in the skillet or cut into wedges on individual plates. Try topping with ice cream too.
Leftovers
Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Room temperature is fine.

What actually is a blog and how do i start one?
Another reason to purchase a cast iron skillet…I don’t have one, but sure this will work in a pie pan!
Yes, a pie pan will work just fine!
Yum! I think this is a great after work treat too!
I have not seen that butter yet but it sounds like a great addition to this skillet cookie!
What a fun and simple dessert! The best!
How on earth do you stay so slender? I have seen dozens of your recipes and most of them are deserts. DO you never eat them, or what? Your children aren’t over weight either. Not fair. LOL

My sister at peanut butter and jelly sandwiches EVERY DAY when we were little for her school lunches. She still loves them. I am totally making these for her the next time I see her!!! It looks delicious!
