Skillet Cookie with a Nutella Swirl for dessert? Why yes, I think I will! Plus 23 Delicious Nutella Recipes to help you celebrate World Nutella Day!
Have you ever had the worst day ever and then made a skillet cookie and completely devoured the entire thing by yourself in 5 minutes? Yeah, me neither. (wink, wink!)
We all know dessert is the ultimate comfort food. I must admit, I’m not a big cookie fan. I know you’re thinking “Um, right. Who doesn’t like cookies?” right now, but I just don’t! If I had the choice, I would choose brownies or cake over a dozen cookies. BUT…now we’re talking about a skillet cookie. With a Nutella swirl. So yeah, the game has changed, lol!
My oldest son turned 14 last November and he’s not a cake fan. He specifically asked for “pizookies” instead of Birthday cake. Have you ever had a pizookie at a restaurant before? Or made them from home? I hadn’t ever made one from scratch. I had to run to Bed, Bath & Beyond to grab some skillets so I could attempt to make some at home.
I’m so glad I did! One of the best investments are these super cute 8″ cast iron skillets! They’re great to make desserts and dips in. They’re a great appetizer size. They’re amazing for a skillet cookie! I adapted one of my favorite lower cholesterol cookie recipes from Mrs. Fields and added just the right amount of Nutella swirls to the top. Baked it up and watched that cookie puff up under those Nutella swirls!
Add a couple scoops of light ice cream or frozen yogurt to the top of your fresh-from-the-oven skillet cookie…and wait for it to melt. 🙂 Heaven!
Now, you can use Homemade Nutella, or skip the Nutella and add chocolate chips instead if you wish. But why would you? Nutella is the BOMB! Did you know that it’s World Nutella Day?
Yep. So don’t be surprised if you see Nutella everywhere you look today. I always have at least one of those huge containers of it from Costco in my pantry. My boys love it! We like to dip apples in peanut butter and Nutella. The best after school snack ever.
But my new favorite (and soon to be yours, too!) is swirling it in a skillet cookie.
I can’t even get over that yummy, ooey, gooey, cookie/Nutella/ice cream combo above! I need another Nutella swirled skillet cookie ASAP!!
Ingredients

I can never decide if my favorite dessert is brownies or a pizookie (a la mode of course). This skillet cookie with nutella looks like it might be my new favorite ever.!
I’ve only had pizookies a few times at a restaurant but now that I bought those little skillets, I’m OBSESSED!! They’re so yummy! Thanks Aimee!! xo!
I’m going to go ahead and call this a skillet cookie for one, because ain’t no way I’m sharing! Eat all the cookie!
Hahaha!! YES! Eat all the cookie! Thanks Rachel!! Have a great weekend!
Oh good heavens. With the ice cream melting into the nooks and crannies, this dessert is seriously calling my name!
It doesn’t get any better than the melty ice cream/cookie/nutella combo! Thanks Kara!!
The thing about those huge containers from Costco is that you have to buy TWO of them. And yes I ALWAYS have them in my pantry. Except it’s usually just one because it gets demolished so quickly. 🙂 Also, I’m pretty sure skillet cookies were made for bad days. I mean what other dessert is so easy to polish off? This looks amazing Jen!!!
oh.my.divine! seriously just beautiful
Thanks Ashlee!!! xoxo!
This looks amazing! I love skillet cookies, and add Nutella to it? Oh yum!!
