A ginormous, warm, gooey, chocolatey cookie baked in a single skillet so there’s no waiting for batch after batch to come out of the oven.

A list of all the recipes MaryBeth Jirgal has tested.
Banoffee Pie
Banoffee (banana+toffee!) pie is a British classic. And for good reason–it’s absolutely delicious. Sweet, smooth, and topped with peanut butter whipped cream.
Sparkling Lemon Sorbet
A refreshing finish to dinner, or just to cleanse your palate, this sparkling sorbet is easy and utterly delish.
Watermelon and Tomato Bruschetta
Watermelon might be a surprising twist, but a welcome one. Our testers loved the cool, sweet, and savory combination. We think you will too.
Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies
Great big chewy, chocolatey cookies so fantastic that our testers absolutely raved about them—try ’em and see for yourself.
White Pizza with Broccolini, Fontina, and Sausage
A terrifically easy (and, yes, slightly healthy) pizza that’ll satisfy your craving in no time, whether on a hectic weeknight or a lazy weekend.
Raw Asparagus Salad
Take advantage of the freshest, most tender spring stalks au naturel. Uncooked, lightly dressed with lemony yogurt, and very little else. Spring has sprung, indeed.
Pain au Fromage
A remarkable rustic loaf that’s cheese inflected and crusty yet tender and contains a little whole wheat flour (so it’s healthy!). Your sandwiches are gonna thank you.
Cornmeal Waffles
A different spin on waffles, these breakfast beauties from King Arthur Flour make an outstanding nosh thanks to the addition of cornmeal. Perfect with fried chicken, too.
Roasted Delicata Squash and Kale Salad
Satiating and healthy-ish, this salad is a vibrant and quick dinner. No peeling required. Just a little chopping and cooking.
