How to Make Skillet Cookie
Follow these simple steps to bake your skillet cookie:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and stir until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a few for topping.
- Transfer the cookie dough to a 10-inch cast-iron skillet (or oven-safe skillet) and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set but still soft.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with ice cream or whipped cream!
Tips for the Best Results
For the perfect skillet cookie, keep these tips in mind:
- Make sure your butter is melted but not too hot to avoid cooking the egg.
- Don’t overmix the dough; it should be thick and slightly sticky.
- Let the cookie cool slightly before serving to help it set up.
- Experiment with different types of chocolate chips or add nuts for added texture.

Make this skillet cookie your own with these fun variations:
- Nutty Delight: Add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans.
- Oreo Crush: Fold in crushed Oreo cookies for a unique twist.
- Peanut Butter Swirl: Add dollops of peanut butter to the dough before baking.
