Santa Skillet Cookie Recipes

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Grease the bottom and sides of a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with about 1 tablespoon of the butter.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl. Beat the remaining butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla, beating to incorporate. Add the flour mixture in 2 additions, beating on medium-low speed until incorporated.
• Use a rubber spatula to scrape the dough into the prepared skillet, gently spreading it to the edges and smoothing the top. Bake until the edges are brown, and the top is golden but still slightly soft, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool on a wire rack 15 minutes.
• To make the glaze, whisk the milk and 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar together in a small bowl. (If the glaze is too thin add another tablespoon confectioners' sugar.) Drizzle the glaze over the cookie and top with the rainbow sprinkles. Slice into wedges and serve warm.

Steps:

• Freeze cookie dough at least 1 hour.
• Heat oven to 350degreesF. Cut chilled dough into 1/4-inch slices. (Return dough to freezer if it becomes too soft to cut.) On ungreased cookie sheet, place slices 3 inches apart.
• Bake 8 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 5 minutes.
• In small bowl, beat powdered sugar, butter and enough milk until smooth and desired spreading consistency. In small bowl, place half of frosting. Add red food color; stir until blended.
• Frost cooled cookies with red and white frosting. Use small amount of frosting to attach chocolate chips for eyes and cinnamon candy for nose. Gently press coconut into white frosting for beard. Press marshmallow into red frosting for tassel on cap. Let stand until frosting is set. Store between sheets of waxed paper in tightly covered container.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine butter and sugars with a wooden spoon. Stir in egg and vanilla. Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir in chips. Transfer to a 10-inch cast-iron skillet; smooth top.
• Bake until cookie is golden brown and just set in the center, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes.
