Present an array of appetizers or desserts using a wood serving board . This board showcases a stunning wood grain with a light finish that instantly draws attention. Crafted from sustainable bamboo, it is naturally durable and chip-resistant, ensuring a long-lasting, premium appearance. The grooves around the edges capture sauces or oils, providing a mess-free way to serve your skillet cookie. Its heat-resistant surface also allows you to place the hot skillet pan directly on it for serving, ensuring an impressive and practical presentation. Plus, the sleek surface can be wiped clean quickly, making it perfect for high-volume use and easy cleanup.

Achieve precise measurements with a  stainless steel measuring spoon set . Made from high-quality stainless steel, this set resists bending and corrosion for long-term use. The spoons stack neatly for convenient storage and quick access. The dual-headed design allows you to measure dry and liquid ingredients separately.

A round cast iron pan is ideal for baking this cookie masterpiece. Constructed from durable cast iron, it evenly cooks your skillet cookie and retains heat to serve it warm. Pre-seasoned with vegetable oil, it helps reduce rusting and minimizes the need for additional fats. Oven-safe up to 500°F, this pan is versatile enough for stovetop searing, frying, baking, and broiling. Its built-in spout allows for easy pouring of juices, while the hanging hole provides a convenient storage solution. For long-lasting use, hand washing is recommended.

Elevate your presentation by placing the skillet pan on a woven cloth bistro napkin . Perfect for celebrations, or special occasions, these cloth napkins add an elegant touch to your tablescape. Made from high-quality polyester, these napkins are stain-resistant to keep messes at bay and wrinkle-resistant to save you time on ironing. Designed to avoid pilling or shrinking, they withstand regular use and are machine washable, making them practical for both home and professional kitchens.

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

• In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy.

• Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix well.

• Separate The Dough: After mixing the green-colored cookie dough, divide the dough in half. Leave one half green and add red food coloring to the other half to create two vibrant colors.

• Layer And Shape: Use small portions of each colored dough to create alternating red and green wedges in the skillet for the pinwheel effect. Press gently to smooth out the pattern before baking.

• Grease a 10-12 inch oven-safe skillet. Spread the cookie dough evenly in the skillet.

• Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set but still slightly gooey.

• Ice Cream Center: Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream in the center of the cookie once it’s slightly cooled.
• Extra Decorations: Consider using mini chocolate chips or crushed candy canes around the ice cream for added texture and decoration.
