Cast-iron Skillet Cookie

An invisible internet friend shared this recipe on Facebook.  I am cutting and pasting here so I can try it tomorrow.  I may or may not share it with my family.

1cup (2 sticks) butter softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
3/4 cup flour
2 eggs
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup peanut butter
1 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350
Cream butter and sugars together
Add peanut butter and eggs mix well. 
Add flour, salt, baking soda.
Fold in oats and choc chips. 
Lightly grease a medium-sized cast iron skillet and fill with cookie dough smoothing it out without packing it too much. 
Bake until edges are golden brown and center is still moist.
For drizzle: 
Mix 2 tablespoons chocolate chips with 2 tsp coconut oil and microwave just until melted. Stir and drizzle on top of cookie. Let cool slightly and serve!

Here's what's on the table at our house this week:

Monday (fast):  Slow cooked Minestrone soup and flat bread

Tuesday: Weenie roast at camp pick up.

Wednesday: Spareribs* and Rosemary potato wedges

Thursday (fast): Mexican Bean Burgers on Flat Out wraps

Friday: Cranberry Pork Chops and steamed vegetables

Saturday: One pan Roasted Chicken Drumsticks and Potatoes

Sunday: Stuffed French Bread and Salad 

* Here's how I cook spareribs:  I season my racks of ribs with seasoned salt and pepper, place in a crockpot with no liquid and cook for 4 hours on high, or 6 hours on low--the meat will be succulent, juicy and falling off the bone.  Just before the cooking time is up, preheat your broiler and line a sheet pan with foil.  Once the ribs are cooked, carefully transfer those ribs to the sheet pan (they will be falling apart!) and baste generously with your favourite barbeque sauce.  Broil until bubbly and browned.  Serve with extra sauce for dipping and lots of napkins.

Menu Plan Monday

Wednesday:  Layered Slow Cook Steak, Potato, Corn on the Cob

Thursday:  (fast) Garlic Parm Salmon Packets
