The BEST Skillet Cookie
Guyssssssss. It’s here!!! No one can give me grief anymore, because the time has come and I can just let it all out.
Pumpkin Season has arrived!!
I like to imagine that it happens overnight, but never at the same time of the month (though it usually coincides with the arrival of PSLs and cinnamon-scented pinecones.)
A little roly-poly fairy, a la Tinkerbell, dressed all in orange flies around the world with her leaf-tipped wand, sprinkling her fairydust all over the land – except instead of fairydust, she’s spreading pumpkin pie spice through the sky.
It falls on the sweet sleeping faces of the unsuspecting, and when they open their eyes the next morning, they either crave pumpkin-flavored everything or they wrinkle their noses and sneeze, ridding their bodies of pumpkin desire.
It’s those folks, my friends, that become the Anti-Pumpkin Brigade.
You know who you are.
Now, I feel like I should assure you (especially if you’re a hater) that not every post from here to November (December? March?) will be pumpkin-related. A few here and there maybe, but I have all sorts of fun yummies in store that have nothing to do with gourds!
But, for today, can you just bear with me and drool over this uh-maze-ing skillet cookie creation?
The best part about this skillet cookie? You could be eating it in about 30 minutes. Near-instant gratification for people like moi who have zero-to-little patience when the sweet tooth attacks!
Plusssss: it’s a one bowl mix. Total heart-eyes over here.
Why you’ll love this recipe

I can hear some of you discerning pumpkin fans already.
Um, Erica? Didn’t you make pumpkin chocolate chip cookies already?
Guilty. Good eye – this recipe is verrrrry similar, minus the pecans and a bit of flour. But why mess with perfection? It’s a tried and true winner already, and super duper easy.
Besides, it bakes up like a cake, it’s stuffed full of chocolate, and it’s up to you whether or not you attack it with a fork.
So there. It’s different. Just don’t forget the ice cream.
