HANNAH'S SKILLET COOKIE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the Fruity Pebbles Treats: Line an 8" x 8" (20 x 20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper and grease lightly with a nonstick baking spray.
• Melt the butter in a medium pot over medium-low heat. Once melted, add marshmallows and salt, stirring frequently until completely melted and butter is incorporated, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Add Fruity Pebbles cereal and stir to combine, until the marshmallow mix is distributed evenly. Spread in parchment-lined pan into an even layer, pressing down with a greased spatula, and let cool completely.
• Once cooled, remove the Fruity Pebbles treat from the pan by lifting the parchment paper out and set on a cutting board. Cut into ½-inch (1.2 cm) squares.
• Make the Skillet Cookie: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• In a large bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar with an electric hand mixer on high speed until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. Add the vanilla, then add the egg and egg yolks, 1 at a time, beating on medium speed between each addition to combine. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula as needed.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and kosher salt.
• Add the dry ingredients to the large bowl with the wet ingredients and mix on medium-low speed until just combined. Add the Lucky Charms cereal and mix on low speed until just evenly distributed, about 30 seconds.
• Grease a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Spread about one-third of the cookie dough evenly into the skillet, using a spatula to smooth out the dough. Add half of the Fruity Pebble Treat squares and press them down into the cookie dough. Spread the remaining two-thirds of the dough over the squares and smooth out as evenly as possible with a spatula.
• Bake the cookie for 35-40 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the center is no longer jiggly when the pan is shaken.
• Immediately after the cookie is removed from the oven, gently press the remaining Fruity Pebble Treat squares into the top of the cookie. Scatter Lucky Charms marshmallows over the top and carefully press those into the cookie surface. Let the cookie cool in the pan for 20 minutes.
• Enjoy!

WELSH CRANBERRY SKILLET COOKIES

Steps:

• Whisk the flour, 3/4 cup sugar, the baking powder, lime zest, cardamom and salt in a medium bowl. Work in the diced butter with your fingertips until the mixture looks sandy. Stir in the dried cranberries. Lightly beat the eggs and heavy cream in a small bowl, then stir into the flour mixture to make a shaggy dough. Transfer to a sheet of plastic wrap; shape into a disk. Wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
• Roll out the dough on a generously floured surface until about 1/4 inch thick. Cut out circles with a 1 1/2- to 2-inch round cookie cutter; arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Refrigerate until ready to cook, at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
• Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Put the remaining 1 cup sugar in a medium bowl. Working in batches, brush the skillet with melted butter, then add the dough rounds. Cook until lightly browned and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. (Brush the skillet with more butter between batches.) Toss the warm cookies in the sugar, then transfer to racks to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for 3 to 5 days; the texture actually improves after a day.

WEST VIRGINIA TROUT TACOS

Steps:

• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
• Mix the cornmeal, chili powder, salt, garlic powder and pepper in a large shallow bowl or pie plate. Pour the milk into another bowl or pie plate. Dip the fish in the milk then in the cornmeal mix.
• Add enough oil to coat the bottom of the skillet. Cook the fish until golden brown and just cooked through, about 3 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove from the pan and drain on a paper-towel-lined sheet tray.
• To assemble the taco, I like to first heat my tortillas on a cast-iron griddle. Then I layer a couple pieces of fish, a spoonful of Bourbon Slaw, a sprinkle of crumbled bacon and some cilantro. Repeat for the remaining fish and tortillas. Serve immediately.
• In a small bowl, stir together the mayo, bourbon, sugar, mustard, chili powder, salt, garlic powder, pepper and lime juice until well combined. Pour the dressing over the cabbage in a large bowl and toss to coat.
