A rich, gooey chocolate chip cookie baked in a cast iron skillet with crispy edges and a soft center, perfect for sharing and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150g) brown sugar, packed
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (270g) semisweet chocolate chips
  • Optional: pinch of cinnamon or a handful of chopped nuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Let the skillet heat slightly while you prepare the dough.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract until the mixture is glossy and smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Lightly grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet with butter or non-stick spray. Spread the dough evenly in the skillet, pressing it down slightly.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes until the edges are golden brown and set but the center is still soft and jiggly.
  9. Let the cookie rest for 10-15 minutes to firm up while staying soft inside.
  10. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce.

Notes

Do not overbake; the center should remain slightly soft and jiggly to keep the gooey texture. Use room temperature eggs and softened butter for best results. Cooling the cookie before serving helps it set perfectly. For gluten-free, use a 1-to-1 gluten-free baking flour blend. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and use dairy-free chocolate chips.
