Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • ½ cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • ½ cup (110 grams) packed dark brown sugar
  • ½ cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1½ cups (192 grams) all-purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal)

Mix-ins

  • 3 cups mixed sweet and salty mix-ins (such as potato chips, pretzels, dark chocolate discs or chips, M&Ms, chocolate-covered caramels, toffee bits, malted milk balls)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Heat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the cookies.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, use a wooden spoon or an electric mixer on medium speed to combine the room temperature butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Then add the egg and vanilla extract, beating until fully incorporated.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Into the butter mixture, add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and kosher salt. Mix just until combined to avoid overworking the dough.
  4. Incorporate Mix-Ins: Fold in the assorted sweet and salty mix-ins, reserving about a quarter of them for sprinkling on top of the cookie batter later.
  5. Prepare Batter in Skillet: Transfer and spread the cookie batter evenly into a 10-inch oven-safe skillet. The batter will be thin at this point. Then sprinkle the reserved mix-ins over the top for added texture and appearance.
  6. Bake: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 22 minutes, until the cookie is golden brown on the edges and set but still slightly gooey in the center.
  7. Rest and Serve: Allow the skillet cookie to stand for 5 to 10 minutes after baking before serving warm or at room temperature to enhance flavor and texture.
  8. Storage: Best enjoyed the day it’s made, but leftovers can be stored well-wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Notes

  • Use a 10-inch oven-safe skillet to ensure even baking and easy serving.
  • Reserve some mix-ins to sprinkle on top before baking for an attractive finish.
  • Don’t overmix the dough once dry ingredients are added to keep cookies tender.
  • Letting the cookie rest after baking helps it set and improves texture.
  • Store leftovers at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
