Hello my fellow Chocolate Fanatics. I'm hitting you with another fabulous cookie contribution for Food Fanatic.

This Peanut Butter and Chocolate Skillet Cookie is something I made quite some time ago. Honestly, I was on a serious skillet cookie kick.

Then, I made this Double Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie for Cookie Week. Plus, I made this Chocolate and Hazelnut Skillet Cookie for Cookie Week as well. If I'm being honest, I got a little carried away with my cute little skillets.

I picked up these little cast iron skillets on a business trip while I was travelling for a conference. They are super cute, so you can never have enough. The more, the better is my motto!

This is a motto that gets me into a lot of trouble in life. I just have this all or nothing kind of personality. If a little chocolate is good then a TON of chocolate is better. And, if making skillet cookies is good, well, let's make skillet cookies every single day. All the live long day.

I do this with pretty much everything in life. It drives my family a little crazy. I went on a furniture moving craze not long ago. It lasted for months. Every single day they would come home and the living room furniture would be somewhere different.

One thing that remains consistent in my life is chocolate. It is never a passing fad. I will never lose interest in it and I will never get tired of it. It's one of my biggest passions in life. Chocolate rules my world. The more the better!

Ingredient List:

• Butter - Salted or unsalted butter works in this recipe.
• Sugar - This recipe uses both granulated white sugar, and brown sugar. The brown sugar can be light or dark for this particular recipe.
• Extract - I used vanilla extract for this cookie recipe. Almond extract would work well too.
• Eggs - Large eggs are used in this recipe. Room temperature eggs, or cold eggs are fine.
• Flour - I used all purpose flour for this recipe.
• Baking Soda - Make sure your baking soda is fresh. Do not substitute baking powder, they are not the same thing!
• Salt - Any kind of fine salt works in this recipe. Salt helps enhance the sweetness when you bake so don't omit, unless you are watching your sodium for health reasons.
• Chocolate Chips - I used milk chocolate chips, but any kind will do. Dark chocolate chips would be lovely in this recipe.
• Peanut Butter Chips - Peanut butter baking chips are a great way to add peanut flavour to skillet cookies.
• Peanuts - I used dry roasted unsalted peanuts for this cookie recipe. If all you have is salted peanuts you can use them. They will work fine in this recipe.

How to Make Chocolate Peanut Skillet Cookies:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Combine the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar in a large bowl, then use a hand mixer on medium speed to blend ingredients together. Whisk on medium until the mixture is fluffy.
3. Next, add the eggs and vanilla to the bowl, and use the hand mixer on medium speed to whisk until combined.
4. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in a separate medium-sized bowl. Mix by hand until combined.
5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in the bowl you mixed earlier. Mix this on low speed with the hand mixer until well combined.
6. Toss the chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, and the peanuts into the bowl and mix by hand so you don't crush this ingredients. Mix by hand until combined.
7. Grab your 10-inch or 12-inch cast iron skillet (you can also use mini cast iron pan, use two 6-inch skillet if choosing this option) and either spray with non-stick spray, or grease with some butter or shortening.
8. Next, carefully spoon the cookie mixture into your skillet, or mini skillets. Smooth out the top with a spoon or offset spatula.
9. Place the skillet, or mini skillets, in the preheated oven and bake for about 25 to 35 minutes. You can use a toothpick inserted in the middle to test for doneness. If it slides out clean the cookie is done. That said, I like to underbake mine just slightly so I tend to pull it out a tad early.
10. Carefully remove skillet, or mini skillets, from the oven. Place on a cooling rack or board to allow it to cool slightly.
11. You can eat the skillet cookie on its own, or you can top it with ice cream, whipped cream, or both if desired. Cut cookie into slices, or serve in skillet and let everyone dig in. Personally, I think this dessert is best served warm.
12. Serve or store for later!
