A quick and easy chocolate chip cookie skillet with crispy edges and a gooey center, perfect for cozy nights and last-minute dessert cravings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted but cooled slightly
  • ¾ cup (150g) packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • ¾ cup (130g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate large bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar. Stir until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Add the large room-temperature egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until fully incorporated and slightly fluffy.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  7. Lightly grease your 8-inch cast iron skillet with butter or non-stick spray.
  8. Spread the cookie dough evenly in the skillet, smoothing the top with a spatula without pressing too hard.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, checking at 20 minutes for golden edges and a slightly soft center.
  10. Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes to allow the gooey center to set.
  11. Serve warm, straight from the skillet. Optionally, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or drizzle with caramel sauce.

Notes

Let the melted butter cool slightly before mixing to avoid cooking the egg prematurely. Do not overmix the batter to keep cookies tender. Watch baking time closely to achieve crispy edges and a gooey center. If overbaked, reheat in microwave for 15 seconds to restore gooeyness. Well-seasoned cast iron skillet recommended for best texture.
