We’re in the middle of all things holiday, so when I found Hudsonville Limited Edition Peppermint Stick ice cream in the freezer section, I knew I had to have it. If you haven’t heard of them, Hudsonville is a Midwest Crafted Creamery that has been churning out delicious ice cream in Michigan since 1926.
I try to shop locally to the Midwest as much as I can and with ice cream recipes that have been wowing customers for 90 years, what’s not to love? I wanted to use Hudsonville’s Peppermint Stick ice cream in an over the top dessert recipe and this ‘Tis the Season Skillet cookie is definitely that. It was SO easy and delicious. Plus, you don’t have to clean anything up because you make the entire thing right in the cast iron pan!
If you’re looking for this ice cream, I highly recommend using the scoop locator to find it!
What You’ll Need:
1 cup Butter (that’s 2 sticks)
2 cups Flour
1 cup Brown Sugar
1/2 cup Sugar
2 Eggs
1 tsp Vanilla
1 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 Tbsp flour
1 cup Red & Green holiday m&m’s
Hudsonville Peppermint Stick Ice Cream
What You’ll Do:
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees
2. In a cast iron skillet melt the butter over medium heat and stir often until the butter has started to bubble and is completely melted. Turn down the heat and both kinds of sugar. Stir constantly until the mixture is combined, smooth and glossy. This takes about 5-8 minutes.
3. Chill for 10-15 minutes in fridge (or if you live in Chicago in December, outside)
4. Once chilled, add eggs and vanilla. Stir well.
5. Once combined, carefully start to fold in the in flour, baking soda, and salt.
6. Once fully combined, mix in m&m’s.
7. Bake for 26 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown. It will be very puffy when it’s all done! 
8. Top with Hudsonville Peppermint stick ice cream and toppings of your choice. I went with mini m&ms and sprinkles!
9. Slice (or dig in with a spoon). Your tastebuds will be more than satisfied!
