What’s so great about this giant cookie is that it’s INTENDED to be eaten right out of the skillet it was baked in. It’s a fantastic dessert to serve at casual get togethers…where everyone is ok with double dipping. OR you can absolutely let it cool all the way and slice it into wedges! If you have that kid of self control, I commend you!

Ok, I love a skillet cookie…the gooey centers, the excuse to eat it right out of the pan…but THIS recipe is by far the best ever. Here’s why: Shop Items:10- inch skillet

This recipe is really easy, requiring only 2 tools with NO MIXER REQUIRED. But being able to do every step in the skillet is a huge bonus!

A Wooden Spoon10- inch cast iron skillet

I’ve been asked before if you need 2 cast iron skillets in your kitchen…one for savory dishes and one for sweet. People worry that the cast iron can absorb flavors, and no one wants a cookie that tastes like garlic! So sure, you can absolutely have 2. Luckily they are inexpensive. BUT with that said, I have 1 skillet and have never had any flavor issues!

What Ingredients Do You Need?

Butter. I use salted because I love the salty balance mixed with the sweetness of the sugar and chocolate. You can certainly use unsalted if you prefer! I do add kosher salt to the cookie dough as well, so if you use unsalted, increase that to 1 teaspoon. AND I sometimes add flaked sea salt on top of the cookie for a little extra saltiness. I love doing this, but it’s totally your call.Dark Brown Sugar. I talked about this a little in the section above, but yes you can use light brown sugar as well OR a combo. I just like the depth of flavor the dark sugar adds!Eggs. 2 large!Vanilla Extract. I add vanilla to almost all my cookie recipes and this is no exception.Baking Powder/Baking Soda/Kosher Salt. I use a combination of both in this recipe, as I do in my Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe. You want the right amount of rise…not too much!All Purpose Flour. No fancy flours in this recipe!Chocolate Chips and Chopped Chocolate. I talked about why I use a combination of chocolate in the above section, but yes you can absolutely use only chocolate chips if that is what you have on-hand.
