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.
