I’ve been a little obsessed with my cast iron skillets lately.  I think they’ve become the most used items in my kitchen!  When I discovered that my bigger skillet is the right size to use for any recipe that bakes in a 9×13″ baking pan….well, lets just say everything is round now: casseroles, puff pancakes, meat loaf and giant cookies!

So, you don’t have a skillet or you’re just hankering for a good old fashioned regular size chocolate chip cookie….no problem!  Just mix up the dough and heat the oven to 350°.  Drop spoonful’s of dough onto a cookie sheet about 2 inches apart and bake for 12 to 15 minutes.
