Advice

When making a skillet cookie, it is important to remember that the size of your skillet will affect how thick and big your cookie will be. For best results, use a small to medium-sized skillet that is at least 8-10 inches in diameter. Also, make sure to preheat your skillet before adding the cookie dough. This will ensure that the cookie cooks evenly and doesn’t stick. Finally, if you want a thick, gooey cookie, don’t bake it for too long. The key is to take it out of the oven when the edges are golden brown but the middle is still slightly undercooked. Enjoy!
