If you ask any of my kids what their favorite dessert is, 4/5 of them will tell you, “mom’s cookie skillet!” The other one doesn’t like chocolate. Whenever my kids are over for dinner, I always give a few options for dessert, and most of the time my cookie skillet is requested. This last time it was requested, I decided to play around with the family favorite. The kids were weary, but I knew coconut and almonds would transform this dessert into something even more spectacular. It was a hit! Enjoy!
