A gooey, golden-brown chocolate chip cookie baked in a cast-iron skillet—crispy edges with a soft, melty center, perfect for sharing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • Optional: ice cream for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 10-inch cast-iron skillet.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in eggs and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips.
  7. Spread cookie dough evenly into the prepared skillet.
  8. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until edges are golden and center is set but soft.
  9. Cool slightly, then serve warm—preferably with a scoop of ice cream on top.

Notes

  • Do not overbake—the center should remain gooey for best results.
  • Use milk or dark chocolate chips based on preference.
  • Top with flaky sea salt before baking for extra flavor.
  • Skillet retains heat—handle with oven mitts when serving.
  • Store leftovers in skillet covered with foil; reheat in oven for best texture.
