Why Bake Cookies in a Skillet?

Cast iron skillets are for more than just making the perfect steak. Cast iron skillets are great for making simple desserts like this pumpkin 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 for skillet cookies to create a delicious crunchy crust. It also has a lovely non-stick finish that makes cleaning up a breeze.

How to make Pumpkin Cookie in a Skillet

We are ready to make a delicious pumpkin and chocolate cookie now that we have gathered all of our ingredients. Let’s walk through the steps to make this perfectly every single time.

1. Cream Butter and Sugars- start by adding the softened butter, brown sugar, white sugar, one egg, and vanilla into a large mixing bowl. Mix together with an electric mixer or by hand until well combined and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.
2. Add in pumpkin puree– mix in the pumpkin puree, be sure that what you are using is pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling.

3. Mix dry ingredients- in a separate mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
4. Combine wet and dry ingredients– add the dry ingredients into the bowl with the pumpkin mixture and mix until combined. Lastly, fold in the chocolate chips.

5. Bake– bake the pumpkin cookie in a 350º F oven for 20-25 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center, if it comes out without any pumpkin batter on it, it is done.
