Well, howdy friends! It’s been a while since I’ve brought you a dessert recipe, so here lies an amazing one that I hope will be reason enough to stop what you’re doing to make immediately.

This Chocolate Skillet S’mores Cookie is to die for and is so so simple to make. If you have any experience baking cookies, then this recipe will come easy to you. Lots of basic ingredients thrown together to create a crispy edged, soft and chewy skillet cookie that happens to be filled with all the good stuff that makes s’mores so amazing.

I love using Crisco®  All-Vegetable Butter Flavored Shortening Sticks for a recipe like this because if you ever run out of butter {which I do all the time} then this is a great alternative that just so happens to have 50% less saturated fat than butter¹. You might be surprised to learn that there are many ways to cook and bake with Crisco® shortening to make savory dishes and sweet desserts. It also delivers higher, lighter-textured, moist and tender baked goods which you can see in this recipe.

You’re going to want to make this before summer is through. My kids just about DIED when they saw this being pulled from the oven 🙂

Here’s how to make it:

Start by taking one of these Crisco® Butter Flavored baking sticks and throwing it into a bowl with a little water, some canola oil, sugar and brown sugar. Crisco® All-Vegetable Shortening Sticks are easy to use and come in a no mess, measurable package.

Like so!

Mix it together until light and fluffy and then stir in two eggs and some vanilla.

Next come the dry ingredients! Believe it or not, there is lots of flour underneath my cocoa mountain. Ha!

Stir this well until it all comes together, being sure to scrape the bottom and the sides thoroughly.

Cookie dough is a beautiful thing.

Now, we could stop here and eat just the dough {which is what my husband begged me to do} but we must forge ahead because believe it or not, it gets better!!

Do you see what I mean by better? Mhmm….Spread half the cookie dough into the bottom of a cast iron skillet and top with marshmallows cut in half and chocolate pieces.

Then top with more cookie dough and more chocolate and bake!

There will be a little dough left, so scoop these out into cookies and bake. We will crumble these over the top and use them as a garnish! Or I guess you could just eat them too 🙂

Sooooo, after 22-25 minutes or so, your skillet cookie is finished! Love all that puffy marshmallow poking through with the melty chocolate too!! YUM. Are you drooling yet?

I waited a few minutes for my cookie to cool so it wouldn’t fall apart to serve, but feel free to just scoop the hot cookie into bowls instead of creating actual pieces.

This was after about 20 minutes. Its still plenty warm, but retained its shape much better.

So, I topped mine with a scoop of ice cream, chocolate syrup and some cookie crumbles because why not. Also, it makes it look much fancier than it actually is. Winning at life.

The edges are lightly crispy and buttery and the center is soft and chewy. The marshmallow stays pretty gooey too! Such a dreamy dessert that you will love!!
