Ingredients you need

The ingredient list couldn’t be easier. You’ll need a package of store-bought chocolate chip cookie dough, about 16.5 ounces, which becomes the chewy base.

Next, grab 8–10 Oreo cookies, broken into chunky pieces for crunch. Finally, sprinkle in one cup of mini marshmallows, which melt into gooey pockets of sweetness. With just these three items, you can create a dessert that’s fun, comforting, and incredibly indulgent without much effort at all.

Equipment needed

All you really need is a 10–12 inch cast iron skillet, which holds heat beautifully and gives the cookie its chewy edges.

Preheat your oven to 350°F so it’s ready when you are. A mixing spoon and measuring cup help portion ingredients, but otherwise, there’s nothing fancy required. This recipe is designed for ease—just everyday kitchen tools and a skillet you’ll use again and again.

Step 1 – Prep the skillet

Start by lightly greasing your cast iron skillet with butter or a quick spray of cooking oil. This prevents sticking and adds a hint of extra flavor.

Next, preheat your oven to 350°F so the temperature stays consistent when the skillet goes in. Preparing the pan properly ensures even baking, golden edges, and that irresistible gooey texture you’ll want with every bite.

Step 2 – Arrange the dough

Take your package of chocolate chip cookie dough and press it evenly across the bottom of the skillet. Use clean fingers or the back of a spoon to spread it smoothly.

Even coverage is key—it prevents thin areas from burning and helps the cookie bake evenly. This dough forms the base that holds all the gooey, chocolatey, marshmallow magic together as it bakes.

Step 3 – Add Oreo chunks

Now for the fun part—scatter broken Oreo cookie pieces across the cookie dough. Press some lightly into the dough while leaving others on top for crunch.

The creamy centers melt slightly into the dough, creating sweet ribbons, while the chocolate wafers provide contrast. It’s this mix of textures—chewy cookie, crunchy Oreo—that makes each bite more exciting than the last.

Step 4 – Add marshmallows

Sprinkle one cup of mini marshmallows across the skillet, making sure they’re spread evenly. As they bake, they’ll puff, melt, and toast to golden perfection.

This step adds the gooey magic that makes skillet desserts irresistible. Every bite becomes a mix of soft cookie, crunchy Oreo, and stringy marshmallow. It’s a campfire-inspired topping that makes the whole dish feel nostalgic and indulgent at once.

Step 5 – Bake time

Place your skillet into the preheated 350°F oven and bake for 10–15 minutes. Watch carefully—edges should turn golden while marshmallows toast gently on top.

The short baking time is perfect because the center stays soft and gooey, just like a skillet cookie should. Pull it out at the right moment, and you’ll have a warm, indulgent dessert ready to scoop and share.

How to tell when it’s done

Your Oreo cookie skillet is ready when the edges are golden brown and slightly set, while the center remains soft. The marshmallows should be puffed and lightly toasted on top.

Don’t overbake—remember, it will continue cooking slightly in the hot skillet. The best results come when it’s gooey inside but still holds shape on the edges, giving you that perfect balance of textures.

Serving suggestions

This skillet dessert is made for sharing. Serve it warm, straight from the pan, with spoons so everyone can dig in.

For extra indulgence, top with scoops of vanilla ice cream and drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce. You can also serve it in bowls, cutting generous wedges. However you enjoy it, the contrast of hot, gooey cookie and cool, creamy ice cream is pure heaven.

Why you’ll want seconds

The magic lies in the combination. Chewy chocolate chip cookie dough forms the base, while crunchy Oreo pieces add bite and creaminess. On top, gooey marshmallows melt into every corner.

Each spoonful gives you a mix of textures and flavors—sweet, crunchy, gooey, and chocolatey all at once. It’s nostalgic, comforting, and fun. The best part? It’s so easy to make, you won’t mind baking it again.
