Indulge in this decadent, warm skillet chocolate chip cookie, featuring a soft, chewy center and perfectly crisp golden edges. Baked in a cast-iron skillet, this dessert uses the pan’s superior heat retention to ensure a professional-quality texture contrast, creating deep, molasses-forward flavors from melted butter and dark brown sugar. It is the ultimate treat for sharing with family and friends.
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 egg yolk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1.5 cups semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Neutral oil or butter for greasing the skillet
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl until fully combined.
Add the egg, extra egg yolk, and vanilla extract, whisking until the mixture appears glossy and smooth.
Fold the flour, baking soda, and salt into the wet ingredients using a spatula until just a few streaks of flour remain.
Stir in the chocolate chips gently to avoid overworking the dough.
Grease the 10-inch cast-iron skillet lightly with a small amount of neutral oil or butter.
Spread the cookie dough evenly into the prepared skillet.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set but still soft.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly in the skillet before serving.
Measure flour using the spoon-and-level method to avoid over-packing. Using high-quality pure vanilla extract will significantly improve the flavor. Ensure the butter is cooled before mixing with the eggs to prevent premature cooking. The residual heat from the skillet will continue to set the cookie after removal from the oven.
