Tips on Baking a Cast Iron Skillet Cookie

• The 3.5 inch skillet itself held just under one cup of raw chocolate chip cookie dough.
• Just be careful to not overfill the skillet. It could overflow in your oven as it cooks.
• I did place the cast iron skillet on a baking tray lined with parchment paper to be safe.
• Check out my post on How to Freeze Cookie Dough if you decide to bake this recipe using a smaller skillet.
• You would use all the cookie dough in this recipe for a 12 inch cast iron skillet.
