Chocolate Skillet Cookie Cake

By srumbel

This cookie cake recipe is a lot easier than it looks. It’s great for the upcoming holiday season. You can add the skillet to the dinner table and serve it like a cake. Switch up the ingredients and try it with all sorts of flavor combinations. It’s sure to impress your guests. A cookie cake in a skillet just looks extra delicious, doesn’t it? It reminds me of a dessert at a restaurant when they bring it out piping hot with a scoop of ice cream on top. This cookie cake recipe has a Cool Whip topping that is just as delicious.
