This Cookies and Cream Skillet Cookie is the most delicious Oreo cookie recipe stuffed into a cast-iron skillet for an amazing skillet cookie dessert!
Don't you love when a recipe comes together just perfectly? The idea for this Cookies and Cream Skillet Cookie hit me this afternoon and I flittered around my kitchen whipping it up only for it to come out PERFECTLY! Y'all, it was like magic and I knew I had to get it out there as soon as I could. I thought this recipe up, developed it, shot it, edited the photos, and wrote this blog post all in less than three hours and now I'm giving myself a big old pat on the back while I munch on this skillet cookie.
What makes this skillet cookie so delicious?
- The different textures. Because it takes skillet cookies longer to cook than normal cookies you end up with a crunchy edge and a very soft and gooey center. It is the best of all cookie world in one Cookies and Cream Skillet Cookie package!
- The high Oreo to cookie ratio. I made sure to include PLENTY of crushed Oreos in this cookie so you are getting some in every single bite!
- It's a giant cookie. We always thought it didn't get better than a warm cookie, but a giant warm cookie is definitely better!
Ingredients for Cookies and Cream Skillet Cookie
- All-purpose flour. Measuring the flour correctly is very important. I suggest weighing your flour out (I use this scale). If you want to use a measuring cup, make sure you spoon the flour into the cup and level it off with a knife. Don’t use the cup to scoop directly from the flour
- Baking soda. This will give our skillet cookie the rise we are looking for.
- Salt. Salt is a must in baked goods. It will help to balance out the sweet and improve the overall flavor.
- Unsalted butter. I always make sure to use unsalted butter when baking because there is no “standard” for the amount of salt they can add to butter. So if you add salt to a recipe and then use salted butter you could end up with a very salty end product.
- Brown sugar. Brown sugar adds a chewy texture to the finished product.
- Vanilla. Vanilla is a must in baked goods just like salt. Real vanilla adds a better flavor than imitation vanilla.
- Egg. It will be easier to incorporate the eggs into the batter if they are room temperature.
- Oreos. Try not to eat them before they make it into the batter!
How to make a Cookies and Cream Skillet Cookie
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees (F). If you’re using a cast-iron skillet you shouldn’t need to do anything to make it non-stick (The one I used was given to me by my grandma, but this one is the same size and the same brand as the other cast-irons I cook with.) If you don’t have a cast-iron skillet you can just use a small baking dish for the same effect. Either one needs to be 5 or 6 inches and you will need to spray a baking dish with non-stick spray.
Step 2: In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until free of lumps.
Step 3: In another medium bowl beat the softened butter, sugar, and vanilla until soft and creamy. Add egg and beat well.
Step 4: Add flour mixture in two additions, mixing until just combined after each. Fold in the crushed oreos.
Step 5: Press the dough into the prepared skillet.
Step 6: Place the skillet in the oven with a cookie sheet underneath it to catch any that might spill over.
Step 7: Bake for about 25-30 minutes for a doughy center, 5-10 minutes longer if you would like your cookie to be more done in the center.
Step 9: Remove the Cookies and Cream Skillet Cookie from the oven and serve immediately. Top with ice cream if desired.
How to serve a skillet cookie
- Skillet cookies are best served warm, about 5-10 minutes out of the oven.
- You can make the dough ahead of time and bake off when ready to serve.
- You can serve the skillet cookie with spoons and allow people to share or cut the cookie into slices, like a pizza.

My little sister, who i love more than anyone, asked me for a "homemade pizookie" and by the time the oven was preheated this came together perfectly. She loved it and said it was even better the next day! Thanks for this recipe! it's my first of yours, but definitely not the last.
