Bake this any day of the week because who doesn’t want a giant chocolate chip skillet cookie loaded with M&M’s on a random Wednesday night??
Giant Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie
Get into the kids and get to baking with them! Everyone loves to bake chocolate chip cookies, but when you take all that yummy cookie dough and turn it into a giant cookie pie, then you have an amazing dessert! This Giant Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie is also called a Pizookie or Pizza Cookie and it’s a everything that you think it is.
I love serving this cookie pie for dessert. It’s just so much easier than constantly switching out a cookie try in the oven every 10 minutes.
Another great thing about a giant skillet cookie is that the center stays soft and gooey. With all that added chocolate and candy, it’s more chocolate than cookie! The edges of the skillet are crisp, but not crunchy and the center is soft. Serve it warm from the oven and skip cooling it for more of a cookie dough experience.
Just look at all that chocolate in there!!
I mean this cookie is PACKED with them! I’ve added three different kinds of chocolate chips because I love the mix, but you can just use half a bag of semi-sweet morsels if that’s all you got.
BTW – did you happen to notice the M&M’s in the video? They said “Pint Sized Baker” on them! How cute is that??
Funny story about these M&M’s – I know you want to read about it….
For my 40th Birthday my husband and I went to New York City for the weekend. We walked around Times Square, saw Wicked on Broadway, went to One World Trade Center, and of course ate some amzing FOOD! While in Times Square, I noticed the M&M shop and just had to check it out. Up to the third floor of all the awesomeness we found the personalizing machine. I got to pick what I wanted printed, then select the assortment of colors, and then pour my bowl of candy into their machine. 90 seconds later, my little cup was filled back up with my design on them.
The nice employees secure the container up with several pieces of tape so that I would not be tempted to eat them on the spot.
Well, that tapped up container stayed that way for nearly a year! A YEAR!! Just sitting and mocking my husband. He was actually getting angry that I didn’t eat them.
(FYI – I’m also the kind of girl who gets a pretty candle and then never lights it because then it wouldn’t be pretty anymore.)
As I approached my 41st birthday, the mocking got to be too much, so they were sacrificed and devoured in this Giant Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie!! YUM!
While in the NYC store I also discovered their MEGA M&M’s. Have you seen these things?? Talk about big candies! They were bigger than my thumb and I loved every single one of them!
I hope that you get yourself some mega, regular, and mini M&M’s and dive first into this dessert. It really was good!

That dessert is a lot of fun and the pictures are beautiful!
Thanks so much. All the different M&M colors make it fun!
Drooling over here!!! We aren’t cake people and usually opt for giant cookies for our birthdays instead! Pinning this for our next birthday or occasion!
This would be GREAT for a birthday celebration!! Thanks for the pin!
This is heaven in a skillet! I never thought to use parchment, but what a good idea to cut down on the cleaning, especially in cast iron that you can’t really scrub.
The parchment really helps. We use this pan for bacon all the time so there’s always a lingering flavor to it. It’s not bad, but I don’t exactly want it in my cookies…
This looks so perfect!!! And with all the “seasonal” m&ms, you could totally customize it for whatever holiday you want!
Totally! Use the Peppermint ones for a fun holiday treat! I bet it would be great!
One of my favorite desserts ever! I love cookie cakes!
They are just so much fun to serve!!
Yessss! There’s nothing better than a giant cookie!
I think so too! 🙂
Yum, that soft gooey center would be my absolute weakness (and I’d choose this over a birthday cake anyday)!
Yes indeed! It would be great for a birthday treat!
What a great giant cookie! My family would so love this!
Thanks so much! It’s a family favorite!!
This looks amazing! Creative!
Can you use another pan besides cast iron?
Sure! A round cake pan would work as well.
What size of cast iron skillet did you use? We have a couple sizes so I don’t want it to thick or too thin for what the recipe yields. Thanks!
It’s just a standard 8″ skillet. If you use a 9″ one, that’ll work too. You can reduce the time for a lager sized skillet, but I don’t think you could fit all the batter into a smaller skillet. In that case, I’d just use any excess for regular cookies.
