Peanut Butter Cup Oatmeal Skillet Cookie on cloth with oatmeal flakes in a bowl and scattered on a gray wooden background

You can make lots of things in a skillet, one of my personal favorites is making my Peanut Butter Cup Oatmeal Skillet Cookie recipe. It’s better than your average cookie because I’ve added JUSTIN’S® Classic Peanut Butter and JUSTIN’S® Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups to the dough. This cookie comes out of the oven crispy at the top, gooey in the middle.

Cranberry Almond Butter Baked Brie in a small cup on a wooden serving tray with cranberries and pine on a wood background

Charcuterie is a great word. It hits a lot of great sounds in one succinct word. Char-coo-ter-ee. Scientists still say they don’t know what it means, I’m pretty sure. When you’re making a charcuterie board for your guests, this Cranberry Almond Butter Baked Brie is a perfect fit and dip for spreads of all kinds. I make it with JUSTIN’S® Classic Almond Butter, cranberry sauce, and a sprig of rosemary for garnish.
