I mentioned when I shared my oatmeal chocolate chip skillet cookie that they are something we find hard to resist at a local restaurant. In fairness, we do resist pretty often as we're that full on pizza, but if I ever suggest it, the kids will immediately say yes. 

You'd think this might translate into making them at home a bit more, but somehow it doesn't. I think it's because in truth, we're not hugely sweet-toothed. If you're a regular here, you'll have seen there are a whole lot more savory recipes than sweet. 

I say "we" but funny enough, that doesn't include the kids these days. They are both more than willing to be taste-testers to anything sweet I make! And this mini skillet cookie was no exception. 

I have to say desserts like this are the perfect solution for people like us who like something sweet now and then but not too much. They don't take long to prepare, aren't too big, and you don't have lots of leftovers to use up. 

Steps to make this pumpkin mini skillet cookie

• Grease the skillet with butter.
• Mix the flour, baking soda, salt and pumpkin spice in a bowl.
• Separately, mix the sugar, butter and pumpkin until well blended then mix in the egg and vanilla.
• Combine wet and dry mixtures then tip into skillet. 
• Flatten out the dough then bake until golden.

You can see just how quick and easy it is in the short video.

The cookie really comes together so quickly and easily, as you can see, and makes a great dessert or treat. It's pretty much the perfect size for two as a dessert or you can cut into smaller pieces to serve as a snack. 

This works well topped with ice cream for a bit of extra indulgence but is also good just as it is. I definitely recommend it warm, so the chocolate is still soft and oozing.

However when my kids had it a bit later when it was cool they had no trouble gobbling it up. It's more of a cakey cookie than chewy, but that makes it all the better for dessert, to me.

This pumpkin mini skillet cookie is so easy to make and a delicious gently fall-flavored treat. Perfect for any excuse!

I made this in my Lodge 6 ½in skillet which worked well. If you'd like to try another cookie the same size, try my mini skillet brownie.
