Ovens are wonderful, incredibly useful appliances – but it isn’t until we don’t have an oven that we appreciate all of its functions. Have you ever been camping out in the great outdoors, sitting around a crackling fire, and became struck with a sudden craving for warm home-baked cookies? Trust me, you’re not alone.

That’s where electric skillet oatmeal cookies come in.

The best thing about electric skillet cookies (other than the part where you dig in) is that you aren’t in the dark about how your little creations are doing. You can see and control how the cookies turn out, flipping before they burn, making sure they bake evenly. This combination results in a firm and crispy, yet soft-on-the-inside cookie.

Even if you aren’t camping, these cookies are perfect for a lazy day when even ordering takeout is too much effort (and money). College students staying in dorms that lack an oven may find these electric skillet oatmeal cookies a lifesaver.

Enjoy with a warm cup of milk, freshly brewed coffee, or hot cocoa, and share with your camp buddies, roommates, family – or not.

Will you give these electric skillet cookies a try on your camping trip?

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 cup flour
  • ½ tsp. baking powder
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ¼ cup butter
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 cups oats
  • ½ cup pecans - chopped (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Heat the electric skillet to 300ºF.
  • Mix flour, baking powder and salt.
  • Melt the butter in a microwave (or you could use the electric skillet if you don't have access to one). Once it’s melted, transfer to a bowl and add the cinnamon.
  • Add the oil, egg, vanilla and brown and white sugars to the butter. Mix well.
  • Add the flour, baking powder and salt, and mix with a wooden spoon until well combined.
  • Add oats and pecans and mix well.
  • Divide dough into 1 tbsp. portions and arrange them in the electric skillet (around 2 inches apart). Flatten them a little with a spatula.
  • Cover and bake until golden on the bottom and the edges start to firm up, about 8 minutes (if it's not easy to flip them, they are not quite ready). Flip them, cover again and bake 6 more minutes or until golden brown and baked through.
  • Cool on a wire baking rack. Serve and enjoy!
