Marbled Peanut Butter Chunky Skillet Cookie

The swirls of chocolate that dance throughout this peanut butter skillet cookie will make you want to dive right in. I know because I could barely wait for a bite once I took this big beauty out of the oven.

The ingredients you’ll need are: flour, sugar, brown sugar, butter, peanut butter, vanilla, salt, eggs, baking powder, vanilla and chocolate syrup.

Oh …  and some miniature semisweet chocolate chips don’t hurt either. Once the batter is mixed, stir them right in for a double dose of chocolate.
Spread half the batter in the bottom of a greased 10-inch cast iron skillet.

Now … yum … pour some chocolate syrup all over the top.

Good stuff.

Then spread the rest of the batter on top of the syrup like so.

Now, gently swirl a thin knife through the batter several times. Be careful not to over mix or it will lose some of the marbled effect.

Okay, let’s bake this baby.

Beautiful. And even better with a big scoop of ice cream on top.

Dig in with friends and several spoons or cut into even slices to serve.
