A quick and easy gooey cast iron skillet cookie with chewy edges and a soft, melting chocolate center, perfect for a cozy treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (110g) packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly grease the 10-inch cast iron skillet with butter or non-stick spray.
  3. In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes with a hand mixer or longer by hand.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract; beat until fully combined and glossy.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
  7. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  8. Spread the dough evenly in the prepared skillet, about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick.
  9. Bake on the middle rack for 20-25 minutes until edges are golden brown and set but the center is slightly gooey.
  10. Let the cookie cool in the skillet for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving warm.

Notes

Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet for best results. Avoid overmixing the dough to keep the cookie tender. Let the cookie cool slightly before slicing to maintain gooey texture. For vegan or dairy-free options, substitute butter with coconut oil or dairy-free margarine and use a flax egg and dairy-free chocolate chips.
