This skillet cookie is loaded with milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and caramel for an irresistible family treat that is made right in one skillet for easy cleanup! No mixer required!
I’m back with another blog hop featuring Hershey’s Kisses chocolates and Reese’s Peanut Butter cups! So many fun holiday treats to share! You can find links to all of the goodies below my recipe for this ooey, gooey, chocolate caramel skillet cookie!
Mom confession: I know that, as a parent, I’m supposed to be really good about letting my kids help in the kitchen. Honestly, I should probably be awesome about it considering that food is how I earn a living and that I homeschool, so it’s my job to teach these little people how to be functioning adults.
The truth, though? I hate it. Kids in the kitchen is just not my thing.
They’re in my way and they’re slow and they constantly ask to lick things.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I let them help. I just have to mentally prepare myself for it. I don’t like the surprise can I help with dinner attacks. Dinner time is hard enough without little people running under my feet and asking to squirt ketchup all over everything.
So, I psyche myself up for baking with the kids as often as possible, because I know they love it. This Skillet Cookie was the perfect kids in the kitchen project! It’s easy, there is stirring, which we all know is the best part of cooking if you’re a child, and it makes one gigantic cookie. Who doesn’t love gigantic cookies?
The best part? Everyone grabbing a spoon and digging in together! Who needs plates? The kids’ germs are already all up in the cookie anyway. You may as well just embrace it at this point.
I used three kinds of Hershey’s Kisses chocolates for this recipe. Original milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and caramel filled kisses are loaded up in this easy recipe. This recipe is adapted from Sophistimom. I love that she created a cookie with no mixer or extra bowls needed. I’ve changed up her recipe by adding extra brown sugar, more vanilla, and cornstarch for an extra soft and chewy cookie. Like I said, this is an easy recipe that requires no mixer. Everything gets mixed up right in the 8-inch Cast Iron Skillet
for easy clean up, too! Don’t forget to top your cookie with loads of ice cream, hot fudge, and caramel sauce to make things extra delightful.

That’s how I feel about The.Boy being in the kitchen!! He’s only allowed if I’ve taken a valium first. And planned some easy, pointless task for him to do.
I want to shove my face in this.
Tieghan says
Haha! I actually could not agree more! Love the idea of my 5 year old sister helping me, but it never goes all that well!
Ok, but this cookie?!? Want it!! So awesome!
Rachel @ Baked by Rachel says

I want Hershey kisses skillet, two forks, and one person who I love very VERY dearly to go to town on this gooey goodness with me! (and no judgement on the kids in the kitchen–I feel like I have to supervise my husband, so I can’t even imagine with kiddos!)
Kayle (The Cooking Actress) says
My mom hated having us in the kitchen too-but she just never let us help really, so good job suppressing your own feelings about it so your kiddos get to help!
I LOVE how you’ve adapted this recipe, it looks CUHRAAAAZY good!
Lauren @ Dash of Soul says
I don’t think I’ve ever made a skillet cookie! The horror! I should probably start with this one. ๐
Becca @ Amuse Your Bouche says
Ohhhh yum. What’s better than a gooey chocolate chip cookie? A MEGA HUGE chocolate chip cookie. Love it!
Jennie @themessybakerblog says
Oh my goodness, this looks amazing. I love all the ooey gooey happening in this skillet.
Katrina @ WVS says
Pass me a fork and I’m in!
Melanie @ Carmel Moments says
I’ll have a piece of that for breakfast please! Looks divine for sure!
Kathy says
I love skillet cookies and this one looks incredible! So delicious!
Belinda@themoonblushbaker says
Baking with kids honestly has never really made it into my baking skill set. I have the fear of one of them getting to one of my appliance or something >_<
Maybe I should take a left out of your book and tough it out!n This cookie is calling me. I am drooling!
Jill says
Yummmmm. Anytime I see the words skillet and cookie put together, I know it’s going to be a good post. ๐
Aimee @ ShugarySweets says
Haha, love your honesty! I have to “plan” for it. I do so much of my baking during the day, at MY speed, that I need to make sure I’m prepared to move in slow motion when it comes to baking with my kids. I also have to make sure my husband is home so he can “clean up” the aftermath.
And this skillet cookie? Ummm, yes please. I think it would count as dinner. It’s served in a skillet….
Taylor @ FoodFaithFitness says
I feel ya on hating kids in the kitchen! I don’t have any actual kids, but I have a husband. Same thing right? ๐ I seriously am in love with this skillet cookie. I don’t think I could wait 5 minutes for it to cool…so worth the burned mouth.
