What ingredients do I need to make a S’mores cookie skillet?

To make a S’mores cookie skillet, you will need softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, Hershey’s milk chocolate bars or a baking chocolate substitute, graham crackers, mini marshmallows, and large marshmallows. These ingredients combine to create the classic campfire flavors in a cookie baked in a skillet.

Can I use a different type of chocolate or marshmallows in this S’mores cookie skillet recipe?

Yes, you can substitute the Hershey’s milk chocolate bars with any baking chocolate or chocolate chips that melt well. For marshmallows, you can use mini marshmallows, large marshmallows, or a mix depending on your preference. Dairy-free butter can also replace regular butter for a dairy-free option.

What size skillet should I use to bake a S’mores cookie skillet?

A 10 or 12-inch oven-safe cast iron or non-stick skillet works best for this recipe. This size allows the cookie dough to spread evenly and bake properly, creating a gooey center with crisp edges.

How do I know when the S’mores cookie skillet is perfectly baked?

Bake the skillet cookie for 14 to 17 minutes until the edges look set and slightly golden, while the center may still appear a bit underdone. A toothpick inserted should come out mostly clean, possibly with melted chocolate but no raw dough. If you prefer a firmer cookie, add 2-3 minutes to the bake time.

How can I store and reheat leftovers of the S’mores cookie skillet?

After the cookie has cooled, cover the skillet with foil and store it at room temperature for up to 2-4 days. To serve, gently reheat the cookie in the oven or microwave until warm and gooey. This helps maintain the texture and flavor without drying it out.
