Description
A warm, gooey chocolate chip cookie baked in a skillet.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 tbsp (1½ sticks, 170 g) butter, melted and cooled until warm
- 1 cup (200 g) light brown sugar
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tsp (10 ml) vanilla extract
- 2 cups + 2 tbsp (255 g) all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp (2.5 g) baking soda
- ½ tsp (3 g) salt
- 1½ cups (255 g) chocolate chips, semi-sweet or a mix of semi-sweet and milk
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Heat oven to 325°F (165°C).
- Prepare Butter & Sugars: Melt butter in the microwave for ~45 seconds until mostly melted, then let it cool slightly. In a medium bowl, beat together melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until blended.
- Add Eggs & Vanilla: Mix in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla until fully combined.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt just until combined. Gently fold in chocolate chips.
- Prepare Skillet & Bake: Press cookie dough evenly into a 10–12” oven-safe skillet. Bake for 28–35 minutes, until the top is just barely golden. Avoid over-baking, as it will continue cooking in the hot skillet once removed from the oven.
- Cool & Serve: Allow the cookie to cool in the skillet for 20–30 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Make Ahead: Dough can be refrigerated 1–2 days or frozen for 2–3 months.
- Freezing Instructions: Cool the skillet cookie completely, slice into wedges, and store in an airtight container in the freezer for 2–3 months.
- Variations: Mini skillet cookies: Use smaller pans or ramekins; reduce bake time. Chocolate variations: Substitute with white chocolate, butterscotch, or mix chocolate types and sizes. Add nuts: Walnuts or pecans work well. Try different dough bases: Blondie, peanut butter, or chocolate cookie dough.
