Tips:

  • If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a regular baking sheet. Just be sure to grease it well so the cookies don't stick.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the cookies to firm up.
