Snickerdoodle Skillet Cookie

The way to get this giant snickerdoodle to crack on top is to make one big ball of dough, roll it in cinnamon and sugar, then put the whole thing in a cast-iron skillet without pressing it down. It spreads as it bakes, making the signature crack in the center while the sugar on the bottom caramelizes into an irresistible crust.
