Peanut Butter-Marshmallow Skillet Cookie
Makes 1 (10-inch) cookie
Ingredients
- ½ cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup (165 grams) firmly packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg (50 grams)
- 2 large egg yolks (37 grams)
- ⅔ cup (170 grams) creamy peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon (21 grams) honey
- 1 teaspoon (4 grams) vanilla extract
- 1¾ cups (219 grams) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (57 grams) coarsely chopped roasted unsalted peanuts
- ¾ teaspoon (4 grams) baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon (2.25 grams) kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 grams) baking soda
- Marshmallow Crème (recipe below)
- Garnish: flaked sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (170°C). Spray a 10-inch enamel-coated cast-iron skillet with baking spray with flour.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and brown sugar at medium speed until fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes, stopping to scrape sides of bowl. Add egg and egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add peanut butter, honey, and vanilla, beating until combined.
- In a large bowl, stir together flour, peanuts, baking powder, kosher salt, and baking soda. With mixer on low speed, gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture, beating just until combined.
- Using a small offset spatula, spread 2½ cups (556 grams) dough into bottom and ¾ inch up sides of prepared skillet. Spread 3 cups (210 grams) Marshmallow Crème onto dough in skillet, leaving a small border around edges. Using a small spoon, dollop remaining dough all over Marshmallow Crème. Using a small offset spatula and short upward moves, drag dough into Marshmallow Crème to create a swirl as desired.
- Bake until golden brown, about 40 minutes, loosely covering with foil during final 10 minutes of baking to prevent excess browning. Garnish with sea salt, if desired. Let cool on a wire rack for 15 to 20 minutes before serving. Serve with remaining Marshmallow Crème. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
