A Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie is the ultimate dessert indulgence, combining the warm, gooey goodness of a chocolate chip cookie with the rustic charm of a skillet bake. This oversized cookie is crisp around the edges and irresistibly soft and melty in the center, making it perfect for sharing—or for keeping all to yourself! Baked in a cast-iron skillet, the cookie develops a beautifully caramelized crust while remaining rich and chewy on the inside. Serve it warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, for a truly decadent treat that’s perfect for any occasion, from casual weeknights to special celebrations.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- Optional: vanilla ice cream, for serving
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- 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.
- Prepare the Skillet:
- Lightly grease a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with butter or nonstick spray. Spread the cookie dough evenly into the skillet.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is just set. For a gooey center, bake closer to 20 minutes; for a more fully cooked center, bake for 25 minutes.
- Serve:
- Allow the skillet cookie to cool for a few minutes before serving. For an extra treat, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and enjoy straight from the skillet.
This Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie is a comforting and delicious dessert that’s easy to make and impossible to resist. Perfect for sharing with family and friends or enjoying on your own, it’s a sweet treat that everyone will love.
