Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie   

Some days I just want to smother my worries in sweets. This is one of those days! I don’t like to worry and be upset. I’d rather be worry free and happy. As we all know all days aren’t happy and we have to deal with the reality that there are days that we worry and are upset.

I worried years ago about certain things, now I’m concerned about other issues.

Some big, some small. It’s no wonder we get “worry lines” as we get older, because we WORRY more!

This is my solution to all the worries.

Eat a GIANT Skillet Cookie,

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip to be exact.

Just one bite in and you worries will fall to the wayside. {well I hope they will}

The best part is in under 30 minutes you will be enjoying this!

It’s all made in one skillet, no mixer to clean, no large bowl, baking sheet, cooling rack. It’s a One Dish Dessert!

 

THIS is the skillet I use and love and I use it so much I have 3 of them and more in other sizes too, it’s a kitchen must have.
