Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie
A warm, chewy chocolate chip skillet cookie made with pantry staples and baked in one pan. It’s golden on the edges, soft in the center, and even better with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Calories: 497kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup nsalted butter softened
- ½ cup light brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg 50 g
- 1 tsp vanilla extract 5 ml
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking soda 2 g
- ¼ tsp salt 1.5 g
- ¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips
- ¼ cup dark chocolate chunks (optional)
- Vanilla ice cream for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch (20 cm) cast iron skillet with butter or nonstick spray.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a medium bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips and dark chocolate chunks (if using).
- Press into Skillet: Transfer the cookie dough to the prepared skillet and spread it evenly with a spatula, smoothing the top.
- 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 gooier cookie, bake for less time; for a firmer cookie, bake slightly longer.
- Cool Slightly: Remove the skillet from the oven and let the cookie cool for about 5 minutes. The skillet will continue to cook the cookie slightly as it cools.
- Serve: Serve warm, directly from the skillet, with scoops of vanilla ice cream on top if desired.
