Mini Skillet Cookie Cakes

These Mini Skillet Cookie Cakes make a delicious dessert recipe that combines the flavors of a cookie with the texture of a cake.

Yes, friends, today we are serving up another tasty treat just in time for the holidays: Mini Skillet Cookie Cakes!

Mini Skillet Cookie Cakes:

I’m teaming up again with my Tastes of the Season blogger friends for our final post of 2018. In this round, each of us is sharing a delicious holiday sweet! You can see all the yummy desserts at the end of this post.

When I was planning what to make, I thought I’d do a classic flavor combination with a twist. I also remembered that I had recently picked up these festive mini cast iron skillets that were just begging to be used. (I found mine at TJ Maxx but also saw them at HomeGoods. There were a variety of holiday shapes.)

Since I had a couple of bags of holiday M&Ms on hand, I thought a classic M&M and chocolate chip cookie would suit these skillets perfectly. Topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of hot fudge, this is bound to be a winning holiday dessert.

How do you make Mini Skillet Cookie Cakes?

The dough for these mini skillet cookie cakes is simple to put together. It’s similar to mixing up chocolate chip cookie dough. If you can make those, I’m confident you can handle these.

I decided to use a mix of milk chocolate chips and mini holiday M&Ms. However, you can use whatever you like: peanut butter chips, dark chocolate chips, peanut M&Ms,… Get creative or use your favorites.

I filled my mini skillets fairly high, maybe too high. I recommend around 3/4 full for the best results.

As I mentioned above, these festive mini skillets are available from TJ Maxx and HomeGoods. Following a quick online search, I learned that you can also find mini square and round skillets on Amazon.

After removing the baked Mini Skillet Cookie Cakes from the oven, I topped them with a sprinkling of extra M&Ms and chocolate chips. This is optional, but I think it’s an appealing finishing touch.

Serve the cookie cakes warm with a big scoop of your favorite ice cream and a drizzle of hot fudge. They taste a lot like a chocolate chip cookie sundae, and who wouldn’t love that?
