Toffee Bit Skookie

Submitted by gailanng

"Never heard of a Skookie? Me, neither, until last night. Apparantly, it's cookie dough made into a single cookie in a specially made 7" cast iron skillet. The warm cookie is then crowned with ice cream and a variety of sundae-type toppings. A Skookie pan is not required, but can be made in any smallish cast iron skillet, pie plate, etc. I posted 2 recipes, but any cookie dough may be used. Refrigerate or freeze leftover dough. One more thing, the cooked cookie should not be very crisp, but on the soft side."
