Description

A decadent and gooey Lady’s Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie baked right in a cast iron skillet, loaded with milk chocolate chunks and semi-sweet chocolate chips, perfect for sharing and serving warm with vanilla bean ice cream.

Ingredients

Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup Butter
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2 cups + 2 Tablespoons All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 3/4 cup Milk Chocolate Chunks
  • 3/4 cup Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips

To Serve

  • Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit to get ready for baking the skillet cookie.
  2. Melt butter and mix sugars: In a 10 or 12 inch cast iron skillet, melt the butter over medium heat, stirring often until it starts to bubble and is fully melted. Then reduce the heat to low and stir in the brown sugar and sugar, mixing until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  3. Chill mixture: Remove the skillet from heat and chill the butter-sugar mixture for 10-15 minutes to cool down. This step prevents scrambling the eggs when they are added next.
  4. Add eggs and vanilla: Once cooled, add the eggs and vanilla extract to the skillet and stir thoroughly to combine.
  5. Add dry ingredients: Stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined into a dough.
  6. Incorporate chocolate: Gently fold in the milk chocolate chunks and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Ensure the dough is at room temperature before adding the chocolate to avoid melting the pieces.
  7. Bake the cookie: Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 26 to 33 minutes until the edges turn lightly golden brown. The center should remain slightly gooey for a perfect texture. If the edges brown too much, tent with foil. Smaller pans may require longer baking times due to thicker dough.
  8. Serve warm: Remove from oven and top with scoops of vanilla bean ice cream. Serve while warm for the best gooey, melty cookie experience.

Notes

  • Use a 10 or 12 inch cast iron skillet to ensure even cooking and a sturdy baking vessel.
  • Do not add eggs before the butter-sugar mixture has cooled to avoid scrambled eggs in the dough.
  • The cookie should be a little gooey in the center to maintain that soft, chewy texture.
  • Cover edges with foil if they brown too quickly while baking.
  • The recipe yields 6 servings and is best enjoyed warm with ice cream.
