Print Recipe

A rich and indulgent skillet cookie perfect for two, featuring gooey salted caramel swirled into chocolate chip cookie dough, baked in a cast iron skillet for crispy edges and a soft, chewy center.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons (56g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1/4 cup (50g) packed light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg yolk, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup (60g) chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
  • 3 tablespoons salted caramel sauce
  • Flaky sea salt for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place your 6-inch cast iron skillet inside to warm up while you prepare the dough.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, stir together the melted butter, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat in the egg yolk until smooth and glossy.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet, folding gently with a spatula just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Gently stir in the chocolate chips, saving a few to sprinkle on top.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of salted caramel sauce into the dough and swirl lightly with a knife or skewer.
  7. Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and spread the dough evenly inside. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips and a pinch of flaky sea salt on top.
  8. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the center still looks slightly soft.
  9. Let the cookie cool for 5 minutes in the skillet before serving.

Notes

Preheat the skillet to achieve crispy edges. Do not overbake; the center should remain slightly soft. Swirl caramel gently to keep pockets of caramel. Use flaky sea salt on top for balance. If caramel bubbles too much, tent with foil during baking. Dough can be refrigerated up to 24 hours before baking.
