Make a giant, gooey chocolate chip cookie baked and served right in a cast iron skillet for a comforting, shareable dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chunks (optional, for extra gooeyness)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Do not grease the skillet yet.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This takes about 3 minutes with an electric mixer.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix the dough.
  6. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and milk chocolate chunks by hand.
  7. Press the cookie dough evenly into a 10-inch cast iron skillet. If the dough sticks, lightly grease the bottom of the skillet with a small amount of butter first.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. The edges should look set and lightly golden brown, but the center should still look slightly underbaked and soft for that ooey-gooey texture.
  9. Remove the skillet from the oven. Let it cool in the skillet for at least 10 minutes before serving warm with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • For the best aesthetic and flavor, serve this giant chocolate chip cookie directly from the hot cast iron skillet.
  • If you do not have a 10-inch skillet, you can divide the dough and bake it as individual cookies on a baking sheet.
  • To achieve a richer flavor, substitute half of the butter with browned butter.
