Look, I don’t know. I’ve just been on a cookie binge lately I guess. But, I wanted something a little more ever green today than my Irish Cream Chocolate Chip Cookies from last week. Plus, I’m all out of those cookies anyway so it was time to make some fresh. One of my all time favorite cookies? Monster cookies!

They’re full of everything I like. Sweet. Salty. Crunchy. You get all the bases covered in one bite. And this Skillet Monster Cookie takes it a step further by being mixed all in one bowl and then baked in a skillet. No need for chilling. No need for rolling. Just mix. Bake. Enjoy.

While I used standard creamy peanut butter here, you could use any sort of nut butter or non-nut butter of your choice. This Skillet Monster Cookie should turn out great either way. As with most cookies, the main swap that I made with this one was to use sweeteners in place of the most of the sugar.

This is good stuff people. I left these in BIG slices, but I found that slicing to get 10 pieces was about on part with what seemed to satisfy without going over board on dessert.
