A warm, comforting chocolate chip cookie baked in a cast iron skillet with crispy edges and a gooey center, perfect for quick and easy desserts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (150g), sifted
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (170g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place your cast iron skillet in the oven while it heats up.
  2. In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand mixer or whisk until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture and mix until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sifted flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips gently.
  7. Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and grease it lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
  8. Drop the dough into the skillet and spread it evenly with a spatula or your hands.
  9. Bake in the oven for 18-22 minutes until the edges are golden brown and crispy but the center remains soft and slightly underbaked.
  10. Let the cookie cool in the skillet for about 5 minutes before serving.
  11. Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Preheat the skillet to get extra crispy edges. If edges brown too fast, tent with foil halfway through baking. Use softened butter at room temperature for best texture. Avoid overmixing the dough to keep cookies tender. A quick broil for 30 seconds at the end can enhance crispiness but watch closely to prevent burning.
