This Giant Skillet is quick to make AND you make it all in the one pot. Stir it together and eat it with friends
“I’d just like a cookie that is so big it would take me all day to eat it”, said my friend Sally. I looked at her and realised that she really meant it. Sally can eat more cake, cookies and pastry than anybody I have ever met. Her house is the ideal place to deliver excess baking of any kind. That is where these giant cookies have found a home. Sally has been very down lately and I wanted to surprise her with these giant skillet cookies. “Skillet” or frypan baking has been quite the trend for a while, especially in the US, where cookies are an addiction. You’ll find all sorts of Giant Skillet Cookies are served in restaurants there.

This is such a great idea! I don’t think I’ll ever bother messing around making individual cookies again when I can just mix and cook everything in the one skillet. Looks awesome 🙂

I have noticed the skillet cookies appearing everywhere… I am going to have to try this myself.

Wow! The danger of me making one of these would be the difficulty in not eating the whole thing!

Sally is one lucky lady and you are such a good friend Tania! I’ve never used a skillet pan nor eaten a cookie made on one, my loss. My mouth is watering so much at your photos and I could use a slice with ice cream right about now;)

Love that last photo Tania! I’ve seen these around for a while now too, and can see why they’re such a big hit. So sweet and just a bit soft in the middle, yours looks perfect indeed! X

I love the reason you made this, what a good friend. How great that it is all mixed right in the skillet too! Cookie cake is always a win 🙂

You are a tease, Tania, leaving us dangling about your six Italian lovers! I have never cooked a cookie like that but it does look like it would be highly addictive as it looks very soft and chewy. Also…just thought I should let you know that your blog takes a long time to load. Not sure who’s looking after it for you but you might want to mention it to them! xx

I’ve heard of skillet cookies but really had no idea how they were made or how they’d look. Thanks for enlightening me! It sounds like quite a fun way to bake (or not bake 😉 ).

Am still nibbling my way through one of those deliciously chewy and chocolatey cookie that you made Tania. All the others can be jealous…I am so lucky to have you around!!!
Hehe although we did say that the shortbread cookies at the afternoon tea were too big I think this size is just about perfect for a cookie of this sort! 😀

i like your hazelnut variation, tania! the only trouble with big cookies is that i never know when a reasonable portion has been consumed. 🙂

I can smell your giant cookie from here!
I’ve heard the term ‘one pot wonder’, we’ll have to start a ‘one skillet wonder’ trend 😉
When you said giant, you weren’t kidding. What a thoughtful gesture. 🙂

I used to make giant cookies when I was younger after the Sex and the City Episode where Miranda is given a giant cookie in a pizza box. I’ve never actually made one in a pan. It looks really cute. 🙂
