Ingredients

Peanut Butter Cookie

  • 1/2 Cup Salted Butter room temperature
  • 1/2 Cup Sugar
  • 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/3 Cup Peanut Butter
  • 1 Egg
  • 1/4 Cup Milk
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 Cup Quick Oats
  • 1 Cup All-purpose flour

Cookie Topping

  • 1 Cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1/4 Cup Powdered Sugar
  • 3 tbsp Peanut Butter
  • 3 tbsp Milk

Instructions

Peanut Butter Cookie

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and very lightly grease a 10" cast iron skillet.
  • In your mixer with with paddle attachment, beat together 1/2 cup butter, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/2 cup of brown sugar. Add in the 1/3 cup of peanut butter and whip ingredients together on medium speed until combined.
  • Next, add in the egg, 1/4 cup of milk, and 1/2 tsp of vanilla, continue mixing at medium-high speed until the color of the mixture lightens and turns fluffy about 3 minutes. You may have to scrape the sides to ensure the peanut butter is getting fully incorporated.
  • Finally, pour in 1 cup of oatmeal, 1 cup of all-purpose flour, and a 1/2 tsp of baking soda. Mix batter until everything is combined.
  • Using a rubber spatula, scrape the mixture into the cast iron skillet and evenly spread it around the pan.
  • Place on the middle rack of the oven and back for 30 minutes, or until golden brown and the sides and middle have risen. If poked in the middle with a toothpick, the toothpick should come out clean.

Cookie Topping

  • Immediately after the skillet comes out of the oven, pour 1 cup of chocolate chips evenly over the top and allow them to sit for at least 10 minutes.
  • While the chocolate chips are melting, in a small container with a tight-fitting lid, combine 1/4 cup powdered sugar, 3 tbsp of peanut butter, and 3 tbsp of milk. Place the lid on tight and shake the contents for a couple of minutes until they are combined.
  • After 10 minutes, use a butter knife to spread the melted chocolate chips evenly around the top of the skillet cookie. 

Pour the peanut butter frosting into a small ziplock bag and cut the tip off of one corner. Evenly drizzle the peanut butter frosting over the top of the melted chocolate.

For a pretty design, use a toothpick to draw lines through the frosting.
  • This skillet cookie is delicious served warm and gooey. But also has a nice chocolate snap once the topping has cooled and set!

Enjoy!
