SNOW DAY here in Texas! Really, it was ice that turned all of North Texas into a ghost town. I can’t remember when I last had a Monday off. No complaints here, or from the puppies who live (and love) to snuggle on a cold February day. Since everyone was home, I began my search for a sizzling skillet dessert. Something we could pile a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream atop.
How about a chocolate chip cookie sizzling in an iron skillet? Oh yes!
This recipe was so easy, no mixer involved. Just a bowl, wooden spoon and skillet, can’t get much easier than that.
Hoping for a real snow day tomorrow!

* I used 6 inch iron skillets, which yielded 2, perfect for sharing with a friend! This recipe is from marthastewart.com
