Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie
Description
The Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie batter starts with creaming melted butter and sugars for a moist base, then eggs and vanilla are added for richness and flavor. Dry ingredients including flour, cornstarch for soft texture, baking soda, and salt are incorporated, followed by the chocolate chips. Spread evenly in a greased cast iron skillet, it is topped with flaky sea salt which accentuates the chocolate’s sweetness.
Baking at 350°F for 20-22 minutes results in golden edges and a soft, slightly underbaked center. Cooling briefly allows the cookie to set while maintaining its gooeyness. The skillet provides even heat distribution and helps achieve a contrast between crispy and tender textures. This cookie is excellent for serving warm, especially with ice cream on top.
Using a 10-inch skillet or pie plate is possible, but expect a thicker cookie and extended baking time.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg large
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract pure
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt sea salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- sea salt for sprinkling, flaky
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease a 12-inch cast iron skillet and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Stir until smooth. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and mix until combined.
- Add the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Stir until flour disappears. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Spread batter evenly in prepared cast iron skillet. Sprinkle the top with a little sea salt. Bake for 20-22 minutes or until golden brown. Don't over bake, you want the cookie to be slightly gooey. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire cooling rack for 10-15 minutes. Serve with ice cream, if desired.
Notes
- A 10-inch skillet or pie plate can be used instead of 12-inch; the cookie will be thicker and require longer baking.
