Cast Iron Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe: Truly Best Chocolate Chip Cookie I’ve Ever Had

What’s better than a chocolate chip cookie with a warm, gooey inside and a crispy outside? Nothing, until now.

Why settle for a small cookie when you can have a giant cookie? Enter the iconic cast iron skillet.

Recently, my family was craving chocolate chip cookies. Instead of making individual ones, I opted to make a giant cookie using my cast iron skillet. It was so good and we ate it all that day.

If you’re craving a chocolate chip cookie, give this a recipe a try! This would also be a great dessert to take to a party or potluck.

Ingredients

• 12 tablespoons butter
• 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Brown 9 tablespoons of butter over medium heat in your cast iron skillet, stirring constantly.
2. Once the butter is fully browned, pour it into a large mixing bowl. Stir in 3 additional tablespoons of butter until everything is fully melted and mixed.
3. Stir in both sugars, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well.
4. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
5. Stir in the eggs and mix well. Let the mixture sit for 3 minutes and then stir again for 30 seconds. Repeat this process one more time to allow the sugars to dissolve completely.
6. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour and baking soda. I like to use a fork to mix everything well.
7. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter-sugar mixture. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
8. Add chocolate chips and fold them into the mixture.
9. With a paper towel, lightly wipe any excess butter in your skillet around the pan. Then, spread the dough evenly into your cast iron skillet.
10. Bake for 10 minutes. Rotate the pan in the oven. Bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
11. Remove pan from oven and let your cookie cool for about 25 minutes.
