Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie
Description
The Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie recipe blends classic cookie ingredients like all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda with a rich butter and sugar base melted gently in a skillet. After off-heat mixing in of eggs and vanilla, the batter is thick and chunky before folding in chocolate chips. Baking in a preheated oven for 20-25 minutes develops a cookie with golden, crisp edges while keeping the center soft and slightly underbaked for chewiness.
The texture contrasts crunchy exterior to a tender middle with pockets of melted chocolate. The finish includes a sprinkle of flaked salt to enhance the sweetness and flavor balance. Using a cast iron skillet distributes heat evenly and adds rustic depth to the cookie.
This skillet cookie serves well sliced directly from the pan, excellent for sharing or casual desserts. It does not include special dietary accommodations and relies on standard baking techniques for best results.
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter unsalted
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 egg large
- 2 egg large yolks
- 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 10 ounces chocolate chips milk or semi-sweet, your choice!
- flaked salt for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, soda, and salt.
- Heat an oven safe (preferably cast iron!) 12-inch skillet over low heat. Let the skillet heat up for 5 minutes. Add the butter and let it melt completely. Stir in the sugars with a wooden spoon. Turn off the heat under the skillet. You MUST turn off the heat! You can also remove the skillet from the burner if you wish.
- Whisk together the egg and egg yolks in a bowl. Add it to the skillet sugar mixture and mix in right away with a spoon, quickly mixing so the eggs don’t cook from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Stir in the dry ingredients until just combined. This will take a minute or two and the mixture will be thick, but they will mix in! You can wipe the top of the skillet or the sides with a damp paper towel to remove excess flour.
- Stir in the chocolate chips. Bake the skillet cook for 20 to 25 minutes, or until it’s mostly set in the center. Top with flaked sea salt.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
