I am going to let you all in on a little secret here... The way to your honey's heart is through their sweet tooth. No, seriously. 

I know the old adage says the stomach (and I do believe that there is some validity to that claim), but if you really want a direct line to their ticker than you need to focus on that sweet tooth, folks! ;) 

Luckily for you all, I happen to be expert on how to satisfy that sweet tooth. And I know of no better way to do that than with ooey, gooey desserts meant just for two.

This Cherry Cordial Chocolate Skillet Cookie for Two starts with boozy maraschino cherries that have been soaked overnight in chocolate vodka. Then they are folded into a decadent homemade double chocolate cookie dough & baked up until warm & gooey. 

The warm cookie is then drizzled in a rich glaze that reminds you of the creamy filling in a chocolate covered cherry. I call this Valentine's Day (or any day!) dessert perfection for two... ;)

Caramel Peanut Butter Cup Skillet Cookie

This delicious Caramel Peanut Butter Cup Skillet Cookie -stuffed with peanut butter cups and gooey caramel- may be big enough to share, but that doesn't mean that you have to...

I have to admit it, you all- I was late to the game as far as embracing my cast iron skillet goes. Way back in the day, I was given one as a wedding day gift and promptly turned up my nose to it. What was I supposed to do with that awkwardly heavy thing anyways?? I pretty much had no cooking or baking skills to speak of at the young age of 19 (Yikes! That is how young I was when I married my first husband.), and I was definitely completely unaware of all the absolutely fabulous dishes you could make in a well-seasoned cast iron skillet. Maybe if had known about the perfectly fried chicken and the buttery, flaky biscuits and the mother of them all- a huge skillet cookie- I would have felt differently back then. ;) 

Fast forward about 16 years later, and I was finding myself researching and asking for cast iron skillet recommendations from friends and fellow food bloggers. And why the change of heart? Well, I think it may have had a little more to do with my stomach than my heart, but I started seeing all these amazing dishes made in cast iron skillets popping up all over some of my favorite food blogs. The more cast iron recipes I saw, the more I started to come around to the idea of owning one myself. But the kicker for me was all these huge, gooey, amazing skillet cookie recipes I kept coming across! I wanted to make them all. 

So, of course one of the first things that I made in my brand new cast iron skillet was a bigger than my face skillet cookie! This Caramel Peanut Butter Skillet Cookie is packed with chopped peanut butter cups, gooey caramel, and chocolate chips. It is certainly big enough to share, but I promise to just look the other way if you decide to keep this big delicious cookie all to yourself... ;)
