Skillet Caramel Stuffed Chocolate Combat Cookie

Weeks inward which at that spot are skillet caramel-stuffed chocolate chip cookies are ever amend than the weeks inward which at that spot are none. Weeks inward Apr inward which it is non snowing are every bit good desirable.

Obviously.

I intend it’s finally bound here! It’s been hence warm the past times few days (approaching 70!) that Grant as well as I walked to the library yesterday! Once nosotros got there, I realized that nosotros had forgotten a really of import item.

A mass bag.

For whatever of you lot who know me (or knew me when I was a kiddo), you lot know that it’s impossible for me to become to the library as well as banking concern check out, oh you lot know, a REASONABLE amount of books. I commonly instruct out amongst 12, 20, or sometimes xxx books. It’s form of ridiculous because a) I tin privy never destination all those books past times the due appointment as well as b) it’s a lot of materials to bear at in ane lawsuit as well as c) I’m notorious for racking upward library fines.

My parents ever tell that at that spot should live a shelf at our local library amongst my scream on it because I’ve likely given them that much coin inward fines 😄.

So, I had to exhibit a ton of restraint as well as NOT pick out 384 books since nosotros walked as well as had no bag.

Thank goodness for huge purses, right?? I picked out a few cookbooks (including Sally’s Baking Addiction – which I’ve been dying to read!) as well as a few movies. Grant had a few movies as well as books as well as fifty-fifty a video game (The Lego Hobbit, because nosotros are the worst adults as well as proud of it). I idea nosotros were doing sooooo good until nosotros got to the counter as well as I realized that I had most half dozen to a greater extent than items to pick upward because I had lay holds on them.

Oops.

We ended upward cramming every bit many things into my purse every bit nosotros could, as well as nosotros carried the residuum of the books abode the old-fashioned way. Don’t worry – nosotros survived.

It was sooo prissy out that nosotros decided to sit down on our piffling bird balcony as well as read. This cookie is likely the alone affair that could convey made that afternoon better! That, plus peradventure some H2O ice mutual depression temperature chocolate milk!

Sadly, this cookie was made as well as devoured a calendar week agone spell it was snowing buckets.

I honey to bake inward my cast-iron pan inward the bound as well as summer. I don’t know why, but I do! I made this amazing fruit skillet crumble dessert in conclusion summertime as well as I am SO excited to become far again!! Just waitin’ on that seasonal fruit! Plums, apples, blackberries – YUM! I justice I tin privy hold out off of skillet caramel stuffed chocolate chip cookies until nosotros convey summertime attain again.

I intend the get-go fourth dimension I made a giant skillet chocolate chip cookie was in conclusion twelvemonth simply about this time, hence that’s likely why my encephalon is telling me that I must pass every warm twenty-four hours making giant skillet chocolate chip cookies! Life could live worse, right? 😉

Here’s the bargain amongst this cookie: It’s super fun to swallow warm, out of the skillet – but it volition live messy.

If you’re trying to live a piffling to a greater extent than fancy, allow it cool completely earlier cutting as well as serving – the slices volition agree their shape much amend that way. I recommend making this a twenty-four hours ahead, if you’re planning to formally serve it to people. That agency it’s totally cooled as well as you lot should live able to serve it without it melting into a lucious pool of cookie as well as chocolate as well as caramel. (You tin privy popular the whole pan dorsum into your oven on “warm” for a few minutes earlier serving, or microwave each piece separately for 15-20 seconds if you lot made it a twenty-four hours ahead.)

Obviously, I prefer the get-go selection – eating it out of the skillet, spell it’s hot, burning my natural language as well as making a mess. See below photograph for prove of cookie-melty ness when non fully cooled.

Perfection. Messy, gooey, skillet caramel stuffed chocolate chip cookie perfection.

If you lot don’t convey a cast atomic publish 26 skillet – I totally recommend one! They’re super versatile as well as tin privy live establish at Target, or on Amazon – this is the cast atomic publish 26 skillet I used for this recipe. I occupation mine to brand all things sweetness as well as savory! Dessert, dinner – you lot scream it.

Instructions

1. 
   

   Prep: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut out a piece of parchment newspaper to gibe inward the bottom of a 10-inch cast atomic publish 26 skillet (see recipe notes for alternate baking dishes). I every bit good sprayed my skillet amongst non-stick spray afterward adding the parchment newspaper to encompass the sides. Set aside. 

   
   


2. 
   

   Make the cookie dough: Cream the softened butter amongst the chocolate-brown saccharide as well as granulated sugar, using an electrical mixer. Add the vanilla as well as eggs, as well as mix until combined. Add the flour, baking soda, as well as tabular array salt as well as mix until combined. Stir inward the chocolate chips.

   
   


3. 
   

   Assemble your cookie: Press one-half of the cookie dough into the bottom of the prepared pan. Then, pour the melted caramel or caramel sauce on top. Take the remaining cookie dough as well as press it over the top of the caramel, gently. I establish that taking a big ball of the dough as well as sort of flattening it into my hands, as well as hence setting it on top of the caramel worked well. You don't desire to plop the cookie dough on top of the caramel as well as and hence effort to spread or flatten it out. 

   Gently press some extra chocolate chips into the top layer of cookie dough for added decoration. 

   
   


4. 
   

   Bake: Bake for 23-25 minutes. Check the cookie - if the top is quite chocolate-brown as well as approaching give the axe territory, lay a piece of foil bird over the top. Continue baking for most 5-7 to a greater extent than minutes. The cookie volition live baked, but pretty gooey inward the middle. If you lot don't similar a gooey cookie, bake it for an additional 8 minutes, covered amongst the foil to forbid the top from burning. Enjoy amongst mutual depression temperature milk!

NOTE: If you lot occupation caramel candies instead of caramel sauce, add together a piffling milk or heavy cream to them earlier microwaving to tending move on the melted caramel smooth. If using caramel sauce, no postulate to add together whatever milk to it. When I made this using a jolt of caramel sauce, it was from Trader Joe's as well as was 10 ounces. I used almost the entire jar.
