Recipe tips for the perfect frying pan cookies

1. The best ingredients in room temperature

Using room temperature butter, peanut butter and eggs helps everything blend smoother, resulting in a better cookie texture. Cold ingredients can lead to uneven baking.

2. Don’t over-mix the dough

After adding flour, stir until combined. Over-mixing can make the cookies dense or hard, rather than soft and chewy.

3. Choose the right frying pan

A good one 8 to 10-inch cast iron frying pan Is ideal. If your skillet is larger, reduce the baking time slightly to prevent the cookies from drying out. You can also use a pie or cake pan in an emergency!

4. Customize with add-on

This cookie is super universal! Try mixing:

• Chopped roasted peanuts
• Swirls of raspberry jam or peanut butter before baking
• Sprinkle a pile of sea salt or flakes from the oven

5. See the baking time

The key to the slimy center? Slightly spotted. When the edges are golden, pull it out of the oven, while the center is just set – it will finish baking in a hot skillet.

6. in advance

You can prepare the dough in advance and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Simply lift it to room temperature and then press it into a skillet and bake.

7. Make it mini!

Divide the dough into small molds or mini cast iron pans for use in individual cookie frying pans – perfect for party or partial control.

8. After freezing

Wrap leftovers in foil or plastic wrap and freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in the oven for 10–15 minutes or microwave for 20–30 seconds at 300°F.
