It’s weird to talk about hot dogs when we’re supposed to be talking about skillet cookies, but I just can’t stop thinking about these fake hot dogs that Moose and I picked up at Perelandra yesterday.

I’m super picky when it comes to fake meats. I never enjoyed the taste of meat, so if a fake meat product tastes too much like real meat, I freak out.

Field Roast hot dogs don’t taste like hot dogs. They just taste awesome. They are like a crispy stick of deliciousness that are similar to a hot dog in appearance but far better in taste and texture. Saute them in a pan. Throw some veggie chili, mustard, ketchup, onion and Daiya cheddar on top. You’ll be so happy.

We only had hamburger buns. It kind of looked like a turtle. Still delicious.

These Field Roast Frankfurters  aren’t a new product, but I’d never tried them, so surely some of you have yet to try them too? Pick some up for your Memorial Day cookout to go with your veggie burgers and potato salad! Then invite me over, okay?

Okay, let’s switch topics to DESSERT! I love cookies, I really do. The problem is that I don’t have a lot of patience. I’m always in awe of those of you who can make perfect little cookies in pretty shapes with icing designs. I love to eat pretty cookies. But if I’m the one making the cookies, you better believe they’re going to come out looking like mismatched chunks. They might taste great, but they’ll look sloppy because I won’t be able to find enough patience to make them uniform and pretty.

That’s why I love skillet cookies. It’s still a cookie, but it’s gigantic and all you have to do is spread it out in a pan. Slice it up like a pie and plop it on a plate. Done.

This skillet cookie was special to me because it was my first time using maple sugar.

If maple sugar isn’t your thing, you can replace the maple sugar for refined sugar (or half brown and half refined) and your cookie will still be awesome.

Cookie Ingredients:

Remove from heat and let the sauce cool until you are ready to serve the cookie.

Slice the cookie as you would a pie, top with ice cream and pour the sauce over the top.
