Let’s dive into this mouthwatering creation.
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or an oven-safe pan.
Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Whisk until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Step 4: Add Chocolate Chips
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 5: Assemble the Panookie
Spread half of the cookie dough evenly into the prepared skillet. Arrange the Oreo cookies in a single layer on top of the dough. Cover the Oreos with the remaining cookie dough, spreading it out to completely encase the cookies.
Step 6: Bake to Perfection
Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is just set. For a gooier texture, bake for 25 minutes; for a firmer panookie, bake closer to 30 minutes.
Step 7: Cool and Serve
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the panookie cool for 10 minutes. Serve warm, topped with vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup if desired.
