Have You Ever Had A Skookie?

We have been making these chocolate chip cookie

sundaes for years and years.  They always are a big hit,

but I received these cute cast iron skillets as a gift

from my daughter's sister in law, Lis and they are

a lot more fun than putting the cookie in a small tin or

a disposable foil mini pie pan!  Besides, they are huge

and I love to make desserts that people can share -

probably 2 on this one.

The company that makes these 7 inch pans calls them Skookies,

for skillet cookies.  You can find them on Camp Chef's

website by clicking here.

Or you can make them as I described, in a small tin or a

disposable foil mini pie pan.

For the warm chocolate chip cookie I used a variation

of a Mrs. Field's cookie.  Do you remember when her

stores were in all the malls?  We had never had chocolate

chip cookies like that before - so full of chocolate.  She

revolutionized chocolate chip cookies.

Mrs. Field's Chocolate Chip Cookies

(from Mrs. Field's I Love Chocolate Cookbook)

Preheat oven to 350.

In a large mixer bowl cream:

2 sticks, or 1 C. softened butter

1 C. packed dark brown sugar

1/2 C. granulated sugar

Beat in:

2 eggs

2 tsp vanilla. 

In another bowl whisk together:

2 1/2 C. all purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt.

Add the flour mix to the butter mix.  Beat

until combined.  Then add 2 C. semi-sweet chocolate

chips (or whatever chips you prefer). 

Spray the Skookie pan with Pam and

press about 3/4 C. dough into each pan.  Bake

for 10-12 minutes.  These are best if they are a

little underbaked!

Remove from oven. 

Have your husband scoop you 3 perfect balls of

rich vanilla ice cream - have you tried the Kirkland brand

from Costco?  It is the smoothest, richest ice cream but it

packs a whallop of fat grams too.  We went ahead and

used it since we were indulging!

Top with Hot Fudge Sauce, whipped cream and chocolate

shavings.

Super Simple Hot Fudge Sauce

Melt in a microwave safe bowl for 1 minute

1 C. semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cube (1/2 C. ) butter

Stir and melt for another 30 seconds if needed.

Add 1- 14 oz. can sweetened condensed

milk and 1/8 C. milk and stir until blended. 

Heat through.

I think the Skookies are best served warm, so you might want

to make the ice cream balls ahead of time and place them

back in the freezer to harden up.

Indulge in one!
