Valentine’s Day comes with a lot of responsibilities, which is why this ILY SKILLET COOKIE is a great addition to make your Valentine’s Day extra special. The best part about making this ILY skillet cookie is that you don’t have to scoop and roll the dough; instead, make the dough, press it into your iron skillet, and bake! This gooey and warm Skillet Cookie is ready to eat right out of the oven. If you top the cookie with vanilla ice cream, you’ll be in dessert heaven.
INGREDIENTS USED IN ILY SKILLET COOKIE
BUTTER
Butter is the main ingredient in making cookies as it gives richness and moisture. I have used room temperature salted butter which will give a soft and gooey structure to the cookie.
BROWN SUGAR
It gives colour and texture to my ILY SKILLET COOKIE. If you don’t have brown sugar, you can substitute it with the same amount of caster sugar.
CORNFLOUR
Cornflour helps the cookie giving a crumbly and dessert like texture. It helps in providing the body to the skillet cookie.
BAKING SODA
The baking soda helps create a soft fluffy cookie.
EQUIPMENT USED FOR MAKING ILY SKILLET COOKIE
The kind of equipment you use when you’re baking makes a huge difference to the end result! I would recommend you to use good quality mixing bowls and other equipment so that your skillet cookie comes out delicious!
To mix all my ingredients together in, I’m using Borosil’s 100% Borosilicate Glass Bowl which is microwave and oven safe, plus the bowls are super easy to clean and handle, which makes my baking process totally hassle free!
I am using this skillet to bake my cookie dough. This is the best iron skillet I have come across and I recommend you all to go for it.
Not a single day goes in my kitchen when I don’t use a Silicon Spatula, this is the one I recommend. Same goes for my set of Measuring Cups and Measuring Spoons.
And it is ready in less than 20 mins in my oven.

TIPS TO KEEP IN MIND WHILE MAKING ILY SKILLET COOKIE
- Butter should be softened. Microwave the butter for 10–12 seconds if it’s cold.
- I used regular Amul butter as usual. Add a little salt if you’re using unsalted butter.
- The skillet cookie may appear undercooked in the centre, but once the edges are golden brown, stop baking it. As it cools, it will continue to cook.
- Eight-inch skillet cookies can be made using this recipe. If you wish to make a larger/smaller batch, you can cut the ingredients in half or double them.
