Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 1 ½ cups brown sugar
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup chocolate chips milk, semi sweet, chunks, or a mix
- ½ cup M & M's optional, for a festive Valentine’s version
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Place butter in a cast iron skillet and melt in the oven. Carefully pour melted butter into a mixing bowl.
- Stir in brown sugar and vanilla until combined. Add eggs and mix well.
- Add flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix just until combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Press the dough evenly into the skillet. Sprinkle M&M’s and extra chocolate chips on top if desired.
- Bake 20-25 minutes, until the edges are golden and the center is just set.
- Let cool slightly, then slice and serve warm for the ultimate gooey skillet cookie experience.
Notes
- For a thicker, softer center, use a 10-inch cast iron skillet. A 12-inch skillet makes a thinner cookie with crispier edges.
- Slightly underbaking gives you that classic pizookie-style gooey center.
- Skip the M&M’s for a classic chocolate chip skillet cookie you can enjoy any time of year.
- Best served warm with ice cream for an easy, crowd-pleasing skillet cookie dessert.
