Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie
I’d categorize my family as cookie monsters. And the bigger the cookie, the better. This Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie was a huge hit x 4!
Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie
About a week after I whipped these up for dessert, the hubby, in a most serious tone, commented, “You know that skillet chocolate chip cookie you made? You can make it again anytime.” He is a chocolate chip cookie aficionado. They must be chewy and chock full of chocolate chips. Semi-sweet preferred.
This was not rocket science, just an easy recipe in a new vessel. Using mini cast iron skillets allowed each recipient to have their own personal pan cookie, but this recipe can also be baked in a single skillet and cut into wedges.
Use Your Favorite Skillet or Mini Skillets
I used four 5-inch cast-iron skillets this time, but you can utilize what you have at home. A 9-inch skillet makes a really thick cookie, and the wedges look like slices of pie! A 12-inch will make a thinner cookie, just adjust your cooking time.
The cookie should be golden brown and set in the middle. I don’t mind them slightly underdone—that just makes them gooier! If you prefer a variety of chocolate chips or nuts in your chocolate chip cookies, go right ahead and tweak to your preferences.
I love to serve these slightly warm with a scoop of vanilla and drizzle of fudge sauce. I have a feeling your family will ask for a repeat performance from you, too.

Notes
Adapted from Cook's Illustrated.
We prefer our skillet cookie slightly underdone. If you want a less gooey center, cook for a few minutes longer.
May use any of your favorite chocolate chips: milk, semisweet, bittersweet, white chocolate, butterscotch chips, etc.

I ate mine warm out of the oven with a scoop of ice cream, absolute heaven!
Such a fun recipe to make the kiddos, they loved it.
My kids really enjoyed this! It was so good! Thanks for the recipe!
I made this recipe for our recent thanksgiving dinner and it was awesome! Thanks again Liz, XO
Liz- I’m a little confused about recipe. In your paragraph you say you used 4 5-inch skillets, but in the directions it says 4 9- inch skillets. Before I order the 5 inch skillets from Amazon, I just wanted to make sure that’s the size you used. So cute! Can’t wait to try this!
Many thanks!
Hi, Lyn! I’ve been the typo queen today. You’re right, that should be 4 5-inch skillets, but you can easily use just one 9 or even 10-inch skillet if you’d like. But the minis are definitely cuter!
Yummy! Hot cookie with cold ice cream!
Another reason I feel you need to adopt me–I’M a cookie monster! 😛 These skillet ccc’s are utter perfection
What a fun giveaway Lizzy….you sure do give those models a run for their money 😉
Love the jacket on you!!
I love that you made these in the skillet what a creative and fun idea! Mon and I tried that once with brownies 😀
Hope you are having a fab weekend and Summer!
