Description
Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie is a warm, gooey dessert baked in a cast iron skillet with crisp golden edges and a soft, chewy center packed with melted chocolate chips. Perfect for sharing and serving straight from the pan, especially topped with vanilla ice cream.
Ingredients
- 12 tablespoons unsalted butter (170 g), melted and cooled
- 1 cup light brown sugar (200 g)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100 g)
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (10 ml)
- 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (255 g)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda (2.5 g)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (3 g)
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (255 g)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Melt butter and allow it to cool slightly until warm, not hot.
- In a bowl, mix melted butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth.
- Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla. Mix until combined.
- Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt just until incorporated.
- Fold in chocolate chips evenly.
- Press dough evenly into a 10- or 12-inch cast iron skillet.
- Bake 28–35 minutes until edges are golden and center is just set.
- Cool 20–30 minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Do not overbake; center should look slightly soft.
- A 10-inch skillet yields a thicker cookie; 12-inch creates a thinner one.
- Lightly grease skillet if not well-seasoned.
- Cool before slicing for clean wedges.
