Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350ºF and wipe a seasoned 10in cast iron skillet with butter.
- Cream butter and sugar together in a large bowl until combined and fluffy, then add in your egg, vanilla extract, and peanut butter and stir fully until smooth.
- Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, folding together until combined.
- Fold in your chocolate chunks and M&M's until evenly spread throughout dough.
- Press the cookie dough down evenly in your skillet, smoothing out the top.
- Add a few more chocolate chunks on top to melt down.

Notes
- Utilize mise en place! Make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and ready before you begin making this recipe - it will help save you time and keep you organized.
- Add fruit. If you want a fruitier flavor instead of rich and fudgy, add raspberries or strawberries instead of the M&M’s.
- Serve with ice cream. I love eating skillet cookies as-is, but if you really want to indulge, put a few scoops of your favorite ice cream on top while the cookie is still warm!
