Introduction
Few desserts offer the warm, nostalgic comfort of a freshly baked chocolate chip cookie. But when you scale it up and bake it in a cast-iron skillet, magic happens. The result? A golden, crispy edge and a soft, gooey center loaded with melty chocolate chips. This Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie is perfect for sharing—or keeping all to yourself. Whether served straight from the pan or topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, this recipe is your ticket to dessert heaven.
Ingredients
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Optional: flaky sea salt for topping
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or oven-safe pan.
Cream together the butter and sugars in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough.
Press the dough evenly into the prepared skillet, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is just set. Avoid overbaking for that perfect gooey middle.
Cool slightly before serving. Optional: sprinkle with flaky sea salt for a gourmet touch.
