This Chocolate Chip Cookie Skillet recipe is a delightful twist on the classic cookie, baked directly in a cast-iron skillet for a warm, gooey center with perfectly crisp edges. Ideal for sharing, it pairs wonderfully with a scoop of ice cream for a comforting dessert experience.

Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)

Optional Topping

  • Ice cream (for serving, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking the cookie skillet.
  2. Mix Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, ensuring a smooth base for the dough.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then incorporate the vanilla extract until fully combined.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add these dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined without overmixing.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the chocolate chips into the dough, distributing them evenly throughout.
  6. Prepare Skillet: Grease a cast-iron or oven-safe skillet with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  7. Spread Dough: Pour the cookie dough into the prepared skillet and spread it evenly across the bottom for uniform baking.
  8. Bake: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the center is set but still soft and gooey.
  9. Cool Slightly: Remove the skillet from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes to set slightly.
  10. Serve: Serve the warm cookie skillet topped with scoops of ice cream if desired, for an indulgent dessert experience.

Notes

  • For best results, use room temperature butter to ensure proper creaming with the sugars.
  • A cast-iron skillet is preferred for even heat distribution, but any oven-safe skillet will work.
  • Adjust baking time slightly based on your oven and skillet size; the cookie should be golden on the edges but soft inside.
  • You can substitute chocolate chips with chunks, nuts, or a mix for added texture.
  • Leftovers can be reheated gently in the microwave to enjoy warm.
