Why Cook in Cast Iron Skillet
Cast iron skillets are for more than just making the perfect steak. I love using my cast iron to make simple desserts like this Snickerdoodle skillet cookie, a berry crisp, or even this monster cookie.
Cast iron is famous for its heat-retaining abilities, like its superpower, which helps cook foods evenly. It works so great in this recipe to create a delicious crunchy crust on the outside of the skillet cookie. It also has a lovely non-stick finish that makes cleaning up a breeze.
