On the Pillsbury site I discovered that one of their suggestions for recipes was to take an entire roll of chocolate chip dough and bake it in the oven in a cast iron skillet (full size). By adapting the cooking time, you can actually spoon out the cookie dough and press it into the bottom of this pan and make EASY cookies. (I'm into delicious and I'm into easy!) Since we have two of the pans, we will be making 2 at a time and keeping the rest of the dough refrigerated.
The one suggestion I would like to make is that you place these on a cookie sheet just in case they spill over the top when you make them to keep the bottom of your oven safe from spills.
Not the best choice of mixes, but the pan itself is super. Just price around, you can find better prices locally.
Another choice (without the mix) is to buy the pan alone ... Lodge Logic 3.5-Inch Miniature Skillet or Lodge Logic L5MS3 5 Inch Miniature Skillet.

My daughter gave this to me as a holiday gift, knowing I love cast iron (especially unusual sizes/shapes).The pan is absolutely perfect. It is a great size (for a big cookie) and shape, and it is 'seasoned' well.
The absolutely horrible cookie mix prevents me from giving a 'five star' review. First, it tastes and smells of cinnamon (which is not on the ingredient list). Second, it tastes as though there is no sugar at all in it. Third, it produced a very dry, crumbly cookie, that tastes mostly of baking soda, which is odd, because it didn't 'rise' during baking. After the first (very small) bite, it was thrown into the trash can.
That said, I will get plenty of use from the pan using homemade dough (I'm guessing 1/2 to 3/4 cup per cookie), which is what my daughter, I am quite sure, figured I'd do in the first place.
