Deliciously Soft Cookies Cream Skillet Cookie to Delight Your Taste Buds

What You Need

These ingredients make this Cookies Cream Skillet Cookie absolutely crave-worthy! Here’s your shopping list for a smooth and rich skillet cookie loaded with real Oreo magic.

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (Splurge on high-quality butter, it truly takes this skillet cookie to the next level)
• 1 cup packed brown sugar (This adds that deep, caramel-y sweetness critical to the perfect cookie dough in cast iron)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (Grab pure vanilla from the baking aisle for best flavor in your Cookies Cream Skillet Cookie)
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (Sifted for lighter texture)
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies (For that real cookies and cream dessert feel, mix both cookie pieces and cream-filled bits)
• Optional: 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (Adds an extra creamy touch to this Cookies Cream Skillet Cookie)

Pro tip: Use fresh eggs and room temperature butter so your dough blends perfectly. Also, store your Oreos in an airtight container; fresh cookies make a world of difference here!

This Cookies Cream Skillet Cookie recipe steps up when you add white chocolate chips. The creamy sweetness is a heavenly contrast to the slightly bitter Oreo crumbs. If you want a shortcut on prep, crush your Oreos in a zip-close bag with a rolling pin—super easy and makes sure the cookie dough in cast iron has that perfect chunk distribution.

If you’re curious about twists, try pairing this with an easy chocolate chip cookie skillet or the classic Oreo skillet cookie version on Kitchen 335’s site. Trust me, these ingredients will make your Cookies Cream Skillet Cookie the star of any dessert lineup!

How to Make It

This step is where the magic happens with your Cookies Cream Skillet Cookie! Follow along, and your kitchen will smell incredible while this skillet cookie cooks.

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grab your 10-inch cast iron skillet and grease it lightly with butter so your cookie dough in cast iron won’t stick.
• Cream together the butter and sugars. Beat softened butter with brown and granulated sugar until it’s fluffy and smooth. This step makes your Cookies Cream Skillet Cookie ultra-rich and chewy.
• Add the eggs and vanilla. Mix them in one at a time. Your dough will start smelling like a cookies and cream dessert dream already.
• Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly blend the dry ingredients into the wet mix. Your cookie dough should be thick but creamy.
• Fold in the crushed Oreos and white chocolate chips (if using). Be generous with the Oreos for that signature Cookies Cream Skillet Cookie look and crunch.
• Spread the cookie dough evenly in the skillet. Press gently but don’t overwork it.
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Keep an eye on the edges—they should be golden and firm, while the center stays soft and slightly gooey.
• Let it cool 5–10 minutes before serving. The aroma of this Cookies Cream Skillet Cookie will have everyone asking, “What’s that delicious smell?”

Don’t rush the baking! Too soon, and you’ll miss that chewy middle texture. Just right, and the edges crisp up while the center melts like heaven. A food-loving buddy tipped me to tent the skillet with foil halfway through if the edges brown too fast. Works like a charm!

Serving This Up

This Cookies Cream Skillet Cookie pairs like a dream with vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce. Nothing beats the combo of warm cookie and cold ice cream melting together.

Serving it straight from the skillet makes it feel cozy and homey—perfect for casual gatherings and impressing guests who love a drool-worthy dessert. For a little ‘gram action, top with extra Oreo crumbles and a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Looks fab and tastes even better!

I also love to invite friends over and surprise them with this skillet cookie as a fun alternative to cake at birthdays or celebrations. It’s easy, crowd-pleasing, and always disappears fast.

Got leftovers? Reheat slices in a warm skillet or microwave and serve with coffee or a scoop of peanut butter cookie bites on the side for a flavor-packed spread (and don’t miss those at FoodieDishes).

Seasonal tweak? Swap Oreos for peppermint cookie pieces around the holidays for a festive version of Cookies Cream Skillet Cookie. Trust me, crowd reactions get even more enthusiastic!

Your Questions Answered

I get asked a bunch about perfecting the Cookies Cream Skillet Cookie, so here’s the lowdown with tips from my experiments.

How do I make this Cookies Cream Skillet Cookie extra flavorful?
Add a dash of espresso powder to the dough or swap half the white sugar with brown sugar for richer caramel notes. Also, smashing the Oreos with cream still intact ups the creamy factor.

Can I meal prep this Cookies Cream Skillet Cookie?
Yes! Shape the dough in the skillet, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Fresh-baked taste, no extra work!

What’s the best way to reheat Cookies Cream Skillet Cookie without losing quality?
Microwave small portions for 15-20 seconds or warm gently on the stove in a skillet to keep that crispy edge and gooey center intact.

Can I freeze cookie dough in cast iron?
Absolutely! Freeze the assembled dough in the skillet wrapped tightly, then bake from frozen adding a few extra minutes.

What’s the difference between easy chocolate chip cookie skillet and Cookies Cream Skillet Cookie?
The latter amps up flavor with Oreos and cream, offering a more indulgent cookies and cream dessert vibe rather than classic chocolate chips.

Should I grease my skillet or use parchment?
Butter greasing is my fave. It adds flavor and crispiness. Parchment can work but that buttery edge crisp is magic.

Can I double the recipe for a larger pan?
Yes! Just adjust baking time and check frequently to avoid burning.
