I’m not a huge sweet eater. I’m kind of like, “give me all the salt–chips, fries, pretzels…” What about you?? However, I will just about sell a body part for a piece of this Oatmeal Pecan Dark Chocolate Chunk Skillet Cookie. Every time I make any type of oatmeal chocolate chip cookie, I get very nostalgic. One of my very best school friend’s Mom always made this type of cookie and it was so, so good. I’ve been graduated for a really long time now and I can still remember those cookies so well. I still love them just as much.
However, for this recipe, I decided to upgrade my favorite oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe just a little bit with the addition of brown butter, toasted pecans, and dark chocolate chunks. Also, I decided to make this cookie in an iron skillet. I really love to cook in iron skillets. They are just about the best kind of cooking tools. Mine was my grandmothers and it is completely seasoned, meaning that it is rare that anything sticks. This is the second-best reason to use it, the first of course is that it was my grandmother’s.
Skillet Cookie vs. Regular Cookies
Making a cookie in a skillet is a very easy change from when making regular cookies. I didn’t really do anything different to make this cookie in a skillet versus making individual cookies other than increasing the cooking time from 12-13 minutes to at most 18-20 minutes. I also made sure to melt the butter in the skillet in order to have the pan thoroughly greased so that the cookie doesn’t stick.
