As everyone else in the blogging world sets aside pumpkin for next year and brings on the peppermint and gingerbread, I’m on a roll here sharing my most exciting pumpkin recipes of the season. I know I’m not supposed to compare myself to other bloggers, but how else am I gonna learn the trends. I’ll admit though, the way the blogging world flies through the seasons takes my breath away.
So, I’ve decided that my last remaining pumpkin recipes will come this week, and starting soon I will be happily posting peppermint and gingerbread recipes too! (I already have way too many Christmas ideas swirling around my to get them all made and posted.)
Anyway, this pumpkin chocolate chip skillet cookie is the ultimate cold-and-windy-day treat. Plus, it’s the perfect size for just one person. I made it when Tyler wasn’t home so I could have it all to myself. It was a fun Saturday morning breakfast. I don’t think you’re supposed to eat giant cookies with ice cream for breakfast, but there wasn’t one pang of guilt to be felt.
It almost didn’t survive the photo shoot, but thankfully, subjects that are warm with drippy ice cream have to be photographed at high speed. And isn’t my mini cast iron skillet just adorable?!?! I’m already brainstorming my next flavor of skillet cookie to make in it.
This recipe makes enough for a mini skillet cookie, which is just enough for one person to enjoy for a meal. If you have a larger skillet, or want to serve more people, double or triple the recipe and adjust the baking time accordingly.
