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.
