Easy Peanut Butter Skillet Cookie
Drop everything and bake this easy peasy skillet penaut butter cookie.
Have you ever had a Pinterest ‘stop everything’ moment? You know the ones I mean, where you are curled up on your sofa, drinking some chai tea, slowly scrolling through Pinterest and drooling over the whole host of amazing chocolate, coconut and cardamom concoctions when suddenly you see it. The recipe that makes you stop right there. The one that you have to pin to all your board, and you luckily have all the ingredients to make it RIGHT THIS MINUTE.
Yeap, that is what happened when I saw this peanut butter skillet cookie from Sally’s Baking addiction show up in my feed. Freddy was thoroughly bewildered by me muttering must make, must make as I dashed around the pantry looking for some peanut butter and eggs.
Luckily the kiddoes were up for it. My youngest had her priorities right reaching for the smarties. Ten mins of measuring, whisking and tasting, peanut butter skillet cookie was in the oven. Better still 40 mins later, we were all tucking into to our warm cookie, topped with melty ice cream and fruits right there on the kitchen floor. Oh the joy. Leftover peanut butter cookie twent straight into this peanut butter cookie milkshake. Twice the joy folks, twice the joy.
