How do I store the Peanut Butter Skillet Cookie?
It is important to remember that you should not store any leftovers of the peanut butter cookie in the skillet. Instead, you should spoon out any leftovers and then add them to an airtight container.
You can store them in the fridge for up to 5 days. A great tip is to add the cookie to the microwave for a few seconds to get the chocolate gooey and to serve warm.
How do I know when a skillet cookie is done baking?
Determining when a skillet cookie is done baking requires careful observation and attention to timing. Slight modifications in baking time are to be expected, depending on the size of the pan and the thickness of cookie mixture used.
Generally speaking, a finished skillet cookie should present itself as golden brown around the edges and be entirely set in the center.
Bakers should also check to see if a toothpick inserted into the center of the cookie comes out clean, indicating that it is sufficiently cooked.
With practice, bakers will become more accustomed to recognizing the visual cues accompanying a finished cookie.
It is important not to overcook cookies; otherwise, they can quickly dry and become hard.
Skillet cookies are meant to have a soft texture.
What is the texture of cookies baked in a skillet?
Skillet-baked cookies can vary in texture depending on the type of cookie and the ingredients used. Generally speaking, these cookies have a slightly crispy outside and a soft, chewy interior.
This texture is the result of the heat from a skillet creating pockets of steam that cause the cookie’s edges to bake and become crunchy.
Meanwhile, its center remains equally moist for that perfect balance between crispness and chewiness.
The result is an amazingly delicious snack with a wonderful mix of textures you won’t find baked any other way.
How do I reheat leftover skillet cookies?
Reheating leftover skillet cookies is relatively simple and can be achieved in various ways. Those with access to an oven may find this the easiest method for reheating.
Preheat the oven to 375 Fahrenheit and place the cookie on a baking sheet with parchment paper. Bake the cookie for a few minutes or until it has been heated and is crispy on the edges.
Alternatively, leftover skillet cookies can be heated in a microwave, although they are likely to lose some of their crispiness when reheated this way.
Place a plate with the cookie on top into the microwave and heat for approximately 1 minute.
If needed, continue heating at 10 – 15 second intervals until warm throughout. For both oven and microwave reheating methods, serve your skillet cookie once cooled slightly to avoid burning yourself!

- Egg
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla
- 1⁄4 cup of mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
- Begin by melting the butter in the microwave. Once melted mix in the cocoa and stir well.

Notes
You can use full-sized Reese’s and chop them up or purchase the baking sized instead.
Feel free to swap out the mini chocolate chips for regular-sized. You can also use white chocolate or milk chocolate chips. Another fun idea would be to use peanut butter chips.
Serve with ice cream, hot fudge, melted peanut butter, more chocolate pieces, or anything else you enjoy.
