A quick and easy chocolate chip cookie baked in a small skillet, perfect for two people craving a warm, comforting dessert with crispy edges and a gooey center.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg yolk, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (60 grams)
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (60 grams)
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts or pecans
  • Optional: sea salt flakes for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place your 6-inch cast iron skillet on the middle rack while the oven warms up.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, beat 4 tablespoons softened unsalted butter with 1/4 cup brown sugar and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Mix in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 large egg yolk until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  6. Fold in 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and optional nuts if using.
  7. Spoon the dough into your preheated skillet, pressing it evenly with the back of a spoon or spatula. Sprinkle sea salt flakes on top if desired.
  8. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until golden edges form and the center is soft and slightly underbaked.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes to set while keeping the center gooey.
  10. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of no-churn strawberry cheesecake ice cream.

Notes

Use softened, not melted butter for best texture. Avoid overmixing to prevent toughness. Preheat the skillet for crispy edges. Watch baking time closely to avoid overbaking. Rest cookie 5 minutes before serving. Optional sea salt flakes on top enhance flavor. Can substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour for gluten-free version. Vegan version possible with vegan butter and egg substitute.
