Super Secret Skillet Almond Cookie-Cake Revealed
While living out West, Madam X (name changed) gave away many of her cookie-cakes to friends. We received one each Christmas. She shared her recipe with several people I knew, but made them swear to never to share it with anyone else.
When we were moving 2,000 miles away, I knew I'd no longer be a recepient of her holiday gifts, so I asked for the recipe. She told me no. I thought she was joking. Not so. She's give us the cake, but wouldn't share her recipe.
Over the years I tried various recipes. Then, I took food specialist Karen Johnson's challenge to heart and asked if she'd ever heard of baking a cookie-cake in a skillet. She responded immediately with something she'd found from the December 1997 issue of "Southern Living." It was close enough.
Tweeking that recipe, I now present to you Bici's Super-Secret Skillet Almond Cookie-Cake. Share it with whomever you wish!
