Skillet Cookie Cake


Cast Iron Skillet Cookie Cake 
Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened 
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 1/4 cups flour 
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 2 cups (11 oz. package) semi sweet chocolate chips 


 Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla until cream. 
  3. Add eggs; beat well.
  4. Stir together flour, baking soda, and salt; Gradually add to butter mixture, beating until well blended.
  5. Stir in chocolate chips.
  6. Rub softened butter around the inside of the skillet (I like to get some butter on a paper towel and rub it around).
  7. Press into a 9 inch or larger cast iron skillet.
  8. Bake for 30-40 minutes (I baked mine uncovered for about 20 minutes and then covered with tin foil for the remaining time, checking periodically, every oven is different so you'll want to watch it closely after about 20 minutes. If you like it a little more crispy, feel free to leave it uncovered the entire time). 
  9. Let cool for a few minutes
  10. Serve and ENJOY
Now for some fun variations! 

 I've done this a couple different ways, both start with pressing half the cookie dough into the skillet.

 Option 1 - melt a jar of caramel (I used the jar'd kind for ice cream) in the microwave and then pour about 3/4 of the jar over the the cookie dough then top with the remaining cookie dough (I do find it helps to press out as much of the cookie dough as you can before you put it into the pan.

 Option 2 - What I did this time, I did half and half with the chips. Half chocolate chips and half peanut butter chips. 
After you press half the cookie dough, add 6 or so Reeces in the center and then sprinkle with chocolate chips. Then cover with the remaining cookie dough.
You could easily do just chocolate chips, or another kind of candy! 

 Then...if you really want to get crazy, top with frosting. It makes it AMAZING. 
I've done just frosting before (I like to melt it for a few seconds in the microwave first, before I pour it over) or mix half and half frosting and peanut butter and then frost. 
If you add the frosting before its cooled, drop spoonfuls around the cake and then spread otherwise you'll tear up the cake, or if you're patient...Wait till its cooled and then frost😊.

Instant Pot Hamburger Helper

Instant Pot Hamburger Helper To get started you're going to turn your instant pot to the sauce feature. When it shows "Hot" on the display you're ready to add your olive oil and hamburger. Throw in all of your seasonings and brown the hamburger. Once its browned, add the noodles and more seasonings. Then add the two cans of beef broth and try to push all the ingredients down so there's not too much sitting on the surface. Then set the instant pot to cook for 8 minutes and do a quick release. Add in your milk, cheese, and party dip or sour cream if you have it. Turn it back onto sauté and stir everything together until it's melted. And serve! I don't know about you guys...but in our opinion you can't have hamburger helper without some bread and butter to go along with it😉. Ingredients: 1lb hamburger 8 oz elbow noodles 2 14 oz cans beef broth  1/2 - 1 cup milk  8 oz shredded ch...

In honor of Crohn’s and Colitis awareness week I thought I would finally share an update on my health journey.

Highlands (Song of Ascent) O how high would I climb mountains If the mountains were where You hide O how far I’d scale the valleys If You graced the other side O how long have I chased rivers From lowly seas to where they rise Against the rush of grace descending From the source of its supply In the highlands and the heartache You’re neither more or less inclined I would search and stop at nothing You’re just not that hard to find So I will praise You on the mountain And I will praise You when the mountain’s in my way You’re the summit where my feet are So I will praise You in the valleys all the same No less God within the shadows No less faithful when the night leads me astray You’re the heaven where my heart is In the highlands and the heartache all the same O how far beneath Your glory Does Your kindness extend the path From where Your feet rest on the sunrise To where You sweep the sinner’s past O how fast would You come running If just to shadow me through the night Trace my step...
