Chocolate Cookie Dough Skillet Brownie

Ever have a day where you want both cookies and brownie? This is the perfect dessert for you! A mix of both treats into one, you have a nice balance of the fudgy brownie with the warm buttery cookie dough all in one bite. This was a really nice easy treat to make and the kids truly enjoyed it down to the last bite, I enjoyed the mix of both flavors, they paired together perfectly- but then why wouldn’t they? 

While it seems like a lot of ingredients and that it would require a lot of time to make, it really is easy to assemble. Each batter takes about five minutes to put together and then you just swirl both together to make your masterpiece. About ten minutes to assemble and pop in the oven for baking.  

If you don’t have a cast iron skillet you could easily sub a 9in cake pan, just make sure you grease the pan and watch the batter around 25 minutes to see if it’s finished.
