Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie
This is a big ol’ cookie in a pan. Giving you that glorious, gooey, chewy treat. Perfect for a movie night in, a wow factor dessert for guests, or those treat yourself days. There’s plenty to go around, and go around it will! Often associated with America, cookies (not to be confused with biscuits) actually originated in Persia (now Iran) back in the 7th Century A.D.. Cookies have had a rich and delicious history and this recipe does justice to their legacy. The smell coming from your kitchen will be irresistible, and might be a nice surprise for your kids or guests to realise that yes – you are making a cookie in a pan! Just goes to show how versatile your Biroix Cast Iron Skillet Pan is. They will certainly be asking you for this recipe, up to you whether you decide to share it or not.

- Spray your Biroix Skillet Pan with cooking spray.
