Tuesdays with Dorie DC: Cast-Iron Pan Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

The Interwebs tell me that skillet cookies are a big thing. Certainly they are big cookies, which probably explains why I’ve never made one before. Cooking and baking for just two people, I usually go for treats smaller in size and quantity. Luckily, I don’t think I’ll have a problem finding any takers for extra Cast-Iron Pan Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars.
These are loaded with chopped chocolate (I used a milk and dark combo), dried fruit (I used cherries instead of apricots) and a ton of shedded coconut (I used half sweetened and half unsweetened). All that good stuff makes a sturdy, chewy, dense bar cookie…kind of like a trail bar, actually. Baking them in a skillet gives a nice caramelized bottom and edge bits. I do have a smaller-sized skillet that I use for things like frying eggs and I made a half-recipe of the bars in that. Those crispy edge bits are my favorite part, and I really like these bars with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
For the recipe, see Baking Chez Moi by Dorie Greenspan. Don’t forget to check out the rest of the TWD Blogroll!

Cherries would have been great in these. I liked the fact that they were quick and easy to make.

Had I been in France making these I would have had a tiny 6-inch skillet to use. This time around I DIDN”T minify (!!!) and made the full batch. So dangerously good!

We liked ours with ice cream too. I like your cherry substitution. I will have to try that next.

These were good with ice cream! I like the idea of using a combination of milk and dark chocolate with the cherry substitution. I also think using had sweetened and half unsweetened coconut is a great idea – sweetened coconut can be a bit too sweet for me. I threw some cocoa nibs in mine and was quite pleased with the addition.
