Salted Caramel Skillet Cookie is a thick & chewy chocolate chip cookie (often called a Pizookie) that’s baked in a skillet & loaded with salted caramel.
Do you have a dessert recipe that the family is over the top in love with? For us, it’s skillet cookies. Maybe it’s because it’s just one giant cookie & that’s just super fun. Or maybe it’s that it’s a dessert we all dive into together & share. I’m not sure what it is about skillet cookies, but it’s the one thing the whole family gathers in the kitchen for. They hover & wait for me to pull it out of the oven & they are practically burning themselves trying to shovel it into their mouths faster than the person standing next to them. It’s a sight to see, that’s for sure. I love making them & we sure love eating them. My absolute favorite is this recipe with salted caramel. It’s positively divine!

It’s just like my favorite chocolate chip skillet cookie, but I added a whole lot of caramel pieces & coarse sea salt. I can tell you, this is by far my favorite skillet cookie I have made to date. It was oooey, gooey & oh so delicious. That salty sweet combo just made me swoon. In fact, I have made it several more times since I took this picture of the first one. I couldn’t help myself, it was incredible. Did I mention that it was super easy to make too? Yep! Just mix, dump, bake & ENJOY! I suppose that’s why I love these so much. They make treat making so simple & it’s a dessert we all enjoy together as a family. It’s so much fun to gather around the table, all with spoons in hand & dive in until we are all bursting at the seams & the skillet is empty.
