Instructions:

Preheat the Weber BBQ: Start by preheating your Weber BBQ. You'll want to set it up for indirect heat. This means you should light one side of the grill and leave the other side unlit. Aim for a medium temperature, around 350°F (175°C).

Prepare the Cookie Dough: You can use pre-made cookie dough or prepare your favorite cookie recipe in advance. Shape the dough into cookie-sized portions.

Choose the Right Cookware: Place a cast-iron skillet on the side of the grill with indirect heat. Make sure it fits on the grill with the lid closed.

Add the Cookie Dough: Place your cookie dough portions in the skillet. Leave some space between them as they will spread during cooking.

Close the Lid: Close the lid of the Weber BBQ to create an oven-like environment. This helps cook the cookies evenly.

Monitor the Temperature: Use a cooking thermometer to monitor the temperature inside the grill. You want to maintain a temperature of around 350°F (175°C). Adjust the grill's vents to control the temperature.

Check and Rotate: After about 5-7 minutes, check the cookies. They should start to brown on the bottom. Rotate the skillet if needed to ensure even cooking.

Cooking Time: The total cooking time may vary, but it's typically around 10-15 minutes, depending on your grill's temperature and the thickness of your cookies. Keep a close eye on them. They are done when the edges are golden brown, and the centers are just set but still slightly soft.

Remove and Cool: Use heat-resistant gloves or mitts to carefully remove the cookies from the grill. They will continue to cook a bit as they cool, so it's okay if they're slightly undercooked when you take them off.

Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes before enjoying your BBQ-grilled treats. Serve them warm with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage.
