The best part of this amazing Peanut Butter Skillet Cookie is that it has just two ingredients! Make sure you have other people around when you make one because you will be tempted to eat the entire skookie by yourself.
Do you have kids who have to do AR reading for school? We have two kids who are trying to meet their goals before school ends in three weeks. Holy cow! It's three weeks until school is over, and summer is here. I am definitely ready for those lazy, hot summer days by the pool.
But I'm thinking I better start preparing myself for the kids being home all day long. We need to start a summer bucket list to keep them busy because I can already hear them asking to watch TV all day, every day.
Back to the AR reading dilemma in our house. Our youngest son read a Harry Potter book that has taken him all semester to finish. Now, his teacher told him to choose some shorter books since there isn't much time left to read and take quizzes.
This resulted in a huge argument with us over what book he should be reading. We offered him a few suggestions, such as The Boxcar Children. His response was a snarl, saying he didn't like those books. He stomped downstairs and came up with one of the Narnia books. We tried to reason with him that those books were longer and had smaller words per page. Do you think he would listen? Not a chance. That little stinker held strong that his book choice was better.
After he talked to his teacher the next day about his book, guess what books he is now reading? He has finished one Boxcar book and started on his second. I guess the parents are smarter than he thinks.
Although after trying to convince our little stinker to just read the books we chose, I am ready to down my frustrations in another skillet cookie!
Let's talk about skookies. You know what those are, right? It's a cookie baked in a skillet. See...skookie.
The best thing about this cookie is that it has just two ingredients. That's right! You are only two ingredients and 20 minutes away from shoveling this awesomesauce dessert into your mouth! After making these Caramel Peanut Butter Oatmeal Bars a few months ago, I needed some more caramel and peanut butter goodness in my life!
You will spread an entire can of Dulce de leche in the bottom of a greased 10-inch cast iron skillet, then crumble a package of peanut butter cookie dough over the top.
I'm sure you could use a homemade cookie recipe, but then I couldn't call this a two-ingredient dessert, could I? Sometimes, using a prepackaged mix is just easier. Plus, it makes it faster to down the goodness!
As soon as it comes out of the oven, top it off with some vanilla ice cream, toppings, and mini chocolate chips, then dig in! The caramel and peanut butter goodness will make you forget any arguments you may have just had with your kids!

I remember those books and trying to finish the year when everyone is sooooo tired of it (my daughter and me!) This recipe looks amazing!
Elle @ Only Taste Matters
This looks amazing! I'm drooling!
Cyndi - My Kitchen Craze
AR reading, AR reading...My gosh it's a pain in the booty. I know its great for the kids, but gosh I stress about them getting all their points in time. My son read the Harry Potter books too. We literally had the same problem of him starting it 2 weeks before the points were due. He sendup up reading an hour every night until he finished it. Crazy kid. Just wait until they get into middle school, they don't have to do AR anymore. YAY. Lol. This Skookie looks amazing and I think I would eat the whole skillet by myself!! 😉
Jocelyn
Oh, I wish they were done with AR in middle school here, but no the joy goes on for another few years for us! Yay!!! I'm going to need a lot of cookies to get through this!
Lori
AR tests are the bane of my existence. We had the "you're never going to finish Harry Potter, just.read.Boxcar.books.for.the.love.just.read.Boxcar" argument at our house also. Seriously. Good thing it is 9:42 and I am in my jammies and thus won't run out of the house to buy the 2 ingredients for this recipe right now. But tomorrow is another day.
Jocelyn
Totally sounds like a conversation in our house. LOL! And jammies never stop me from making grocery runs. But then again I wear yoga pants and tshirts to bed, so I'm not one of those people! HA!
Medha @ Whisk & Shout
Omg why have I never thought to call a skillet cookie a skookie! That's so freaking cute 🙂
Jocelyn
Haha! I wish I could claim it, but someone else already coined the phrase...I'm just going to use it!
Melanie @ Carmel Moments
Everything lucious in one skillet. Nom nom.
Jocelyn
You know it!!! 🙂
Hayley @ The Domestic Rebel
This skookie looks out-of-this-world AMAZING!! I love that you doctored up a simple refrigerated cookie dough!
Jocelyn
Thanks, Hayley 🙂
Holley Grainger
You had me at peanut butter and caramel and then I saw your picture. Oh wow...just wow! Must make!
Jocelyn
I am totally loving peanut butter and caramel together these days. I hope you get a chance to make this cookie...it is so amazing!!!
Joanie @ ZagLeft
I'm in Texas and my daughter has to do AR too. Sometimes finding the right book for the right amount of points is so hard. I guess it doesn't help that we're so ready for summer right now. This skookie is such a great recipe, it's easy to make and perfect for the lazy days of summer.
Jocelyn
Yes, my kids have been ready for summer for the past month, so finishing strong in school work has been a struggle here. Only 1 week to go...
Ashley | Spoonful of Flavor
Oh, this is perfect in one pan! That means I don't have to share, right? I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to stop eating this skookie!
Jocelyn
Girl, I made this when no one was home. Dangerous thing to do...I couldn't stop eating! Then I was so mad at myself. But it was so good 🙂
Dorothy @ Crazy for Crust
Do you live in my house? Because AR takes over our life. I love the incentive of meeting a goal but finding books, OMG. Jordan started HP but didn't like it...a week later. A week of AR points wasted! Now she reads a gazillion 2 pt books instead. There's always a problem finding good ones...and then summer will come and she won't want to "waste" books b/c she can't quiz! LOL
I love this skillet cookie so much!
Jocelyn
Oh, my word...that's exactly what my son did. Started a book, got so far in it, then his teacher told him no because he wouldn't finish in time. So I have been hounding him to finish those 2-3 point books just to get.it.done!!! Bring on more skillet cookies please!!!
Aimee @ ShugarySweets
Oh how I want this skookie in my life today! I hear ya on the reading. It's frustrating that our kids want to read good solid choices, but they have to meet a quota of number of books to reach the goal. Then again, I see that point too because you want them to read a variety. Oh, just give me a fork. LOL
Jocelyn
I'm with you...crazy town on the reading! Let's just meet up and down a skookie together!!!
Mir
Yep, kids listen to their teachers, not their parents. I'm both, so I see it in action every day! Boxcar is a good choice, too!
Love this skookie. My favorite flavor! I'm in Hershey, PA right now, and had a smaller version of this kind of thing yesterday. Still dreaming about it!
Jocelyn
Little boogers...the kids that is, not the parents or teachers. LOL! I hope you had fun in Hershey. I grew up near there and always loved trips to the chocolate factory.
Kristen @ A Mind Full Mom
You said peanut butter and I came running. And of course, I am not disappointed. Looks incredible.
Jocelyn
Peanut butter does that to me too 🙂
Gayle @ Pumpkin 'N Spice
Skillet cookies are my absolute favorite! This looks amazing, Jocelyn! I love the peanut butter and caramel combo. Perfection!
Jocelyn
Now that I've jumped on the skillet cookie train, I never want to leave. They are so awesome...as long as people are home to help you eat them. 😉
Erin @ Miss Scrambled Egg
Skookie = Love. This is probably the most amazing thing that I've seen all day. It's crazy that your children only have three more weeks of school. In Connecticut, we have 7 more weeks.
Jocelyn
I know, right? This skookie is still amazing me! And now we are down to a week of school...yes, I'm behind in responding. Yikes!
