This is a s’mores experience you truly will not forget!

Ingredients

Peanut Butter – I prefer to use a natural peanut butter with no added sugar or oils. I like the natural peanut butter brand from Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods.

Egg – Adds structure and binds the cookie skillet together while baking. I haven’t tested any vegan egg substitutions for this recipe but let me know if you do!

Coconut Sugar – A refined sugar free sweetener that adds a slight caramel flavor.

Maple Syrup – Another refined sugar free sweetener that pairs well with coconut sugar.

Graham Crackers – Use a gluten free variety if needed, I love the brand Pamela’s. The graham crackers taste just like regular ones but are made with a gluten free flour blend. If you need the recipe to be both gluten free and dairy free, I would suggest using the Simple Mills Honey Cinnamon Seed & Nut Flour Sweet Thins !

Chocolate – My all time favorite chocolate is Theo Chocolate and their 85% dark chocolate bar is perfect for this s’mores skillet cookie.

Marshmallows – I prefer mini marshmallows because they’re bite sized and make it easier to cut into this skillet cookie. My go-to brand is Dandies because they’re vegan and made with better-for-you ingredients!

How to Make Peanut Butter S’mores Skillet Cookie

One of the many reasons I love this skillet cookie is because it’s so simple to make. The cookie dough itself is easy enough then baking is as simple as preheating the oven and setting a timer. I’ll always love a good campfire s’more but this skillet cookie is perfect for year round s’mores!

1. Preheat the oven to 350F and grease a 6” cast iron skillet with coconut oil.

2. In a large mixing bowl, add the peanut butter, egg, coconut sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend together with a hand mixer or wooden spoon until combined.

3. Add in your graham cracker ‘flour’, baking soda, salt, and stir until just combined. Dough will be very thick.

4. Spread half of the cookie dough in the cast iron skillet, using your hands to press into an even layer. Top with a layer of chopped chocolate (I used ~1.5, 3oz Theo Chocolate bars).

5. Cover with the remaining half of the cookie dough. I found it easiest to make into a large / flat patty, and then gently flattened with my hands.

6. Top with mini marshmallows and extra ½ bar of chopped chocolate.

7. Move to the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until marshmallows and edges are browned and have started to pull away from the sides. A toothpick inserted in the side should also come out mostly clean, but it does not need to be totally crumb-free or clean as you don’t want to over-bake this skillet! Bake for 40 minutes if you prefer a fudgier cookie.

8. Remove from the oven and serve warm/enjoy immediately!

Cast Iron Skillet Cookie Tips

No matter what you do, this s’mores skillet cookie is going to be a-mazing! There are a few tips and tricks though to make the process easier and keep your skillet cookie at top tier quality:

• Use a natural peanut butter with no added sugar or oil. This may seem like a simple thing but the added sugar and/or oil in conventional peanut butter can disrupt the texture and flavor of baked goods. I typically use the natural brands you can find at Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s.

• For the graham crackers, I suggest putting a piece of parchment paper or a kitchen towel under your cutting board to catch fly away pieces as you chop them. Another option is to crush the graham crackers in a large ziplock bag and use a rolling pin to gently break them up (with no mess!).

• If you don’t have chocolate bars, simply use chocolate chips instead. They’ll melt and taste the exact same as chocolate bars! Dependent on the chocolate % you use of course.

• When layering the second half of the cookie dough, use your hands to form a large disk shape with the dough then set it on top of the chocolate layer. You can then pat it down and smooth out the dough on top.

• If you don’t have a 6-inch skillet and need to use a larger size, reduce the baking time. I’d try 30-35 minutes for a 8-inch skillet and 20-25 minutes for a 12-inch skillet. The larger the skillet, the thinner the cookie and the less bake time needed. You can also try baking in a 8″x8″ pan for ~30-35 minutes.
