Oatmeal Skookie

I'm headlining a new campaign to promote a dessert called the skookie.  Pronounced skoo - key.  Forget saving the whales, apparently THIS is the cause that I've chosen to invest my time and efforts in this week.

Please don't misunderstand - this is not a dessert that I invented - I take absolutely no credit for the creation of this delicious sugar laden treat.  I simply feel like the Skillet Cookie is one of the most poorly named desserts.  Apparently, I'm not the only person that doesn't appreciate the term "skillet cookie" because "skookie" recipes are taking over the internet.  They've increased in popularity so much that you can now buy special Skookie pans.

In all my excitement, I feel like I've jumped the gun.  I neglected to explain what a Skookie really is.  A skillet cookie, or a Skookie, is a giant cookie baked in a hot cast iron skillet and cut into wedges to serve.  The concept is genius really.  All of the deliciousness of making freshly baked cookies without the hassle of having to make individual cookies.  And baking it in a hot cast iron skillet gives your skookie crispy, crunchy edges and a soft, chewy center.  

So what are you waiting for?  Break out your cast iron skillet and start baking.  Oh, and if you really want to go above and beyond - add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to the top of your warm skookie - mind blowing.

I must give credit, where credit is due and in this case, my daughter deserves all the credit.  I had a bowl of raisins all plumped and ready to stir into this scrumptious oatmeal cookie batter when she happened to wander through the kitchen.  She took it upon herself to present a very compelling argument to swap out the raisins for chocolate chips.  (She would make a great lawyer.)  After listening to her plead her case, there was no way I could resist.  How can I argue with chocolate?  I have to admit - her idea was excellent.  This chocolate chip oatmeal skookie is amazing.  

Ciao!
