Coming your way today is this super easy confetti skillet cookie. Because who couldn’t use a happy, sparkly treat right about now?
Confetti Skillet Cookie
And this one is made with only eight ingredients, requires minimal cleanup, and tastes so yummy!
Plus, you don’t need to roll the dough — or chill it before using. Just mix up the dough, press it into the pan, and bake it. That’s it! Super easy, right?
And because it’s so simple (and foolproof!), this recipe is also a fun one to try with kids (or adults) just learning to bake.
Tips on Making this Confetti Skillet Cookie:
- As always, make sure your butter and egg are at room temperature when you start. Yep, this can be a tedious step, but it helps ensure your cookies come out fluffy and tender. It’s a science thing.
- For the sprinkles, you can use any that you like. But I would recommend not using nonpareils in the cookie dough because they may bleed their color. For this cookie, I used Wilton’s Spring Bunny mix (you can also try these).
- Also, I greased my cast-iron skillet and also lined the bottom of mine with parchment paper before adding the dough. This made it super easy to easily remove the cookie from the pan.
- Don’t have a cast-iron skillet? You can also use a regular, oven-proof skillet.
- I topped my cookie with a little ice cream. But these cookies also great without any topping.
