How to Make Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts if using.
- Grease a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or oven-safe skillet with cooking spray or a little butter.
- Spread the cookie dough evenly in the skillet, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set but still slightly soft.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure your butter is melted but not hot to avoid cooking the egg prematurely.
- For a crispier edge, bake a few minutes longer, but keep an eye on the center to prevent overbaking.
- Letting the cookie cool slightly enhances the texture, making it easier to slice and serve.
Easy Variations
- Nutty Delight: Add 1/2 cup of your favorite nuts for a crunchy twist.
- Double Chocolate: Substitute half of the flour with cocoa powder for a chocolate lover’s dream.
- Stuffed Cookie: Add a layer of chocolate or caramel in the center before baking for an ooey-gooey surprise.
What to Serve With It
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic dessert pairing.
- Fresh berries for a burst of fruity flavor.
- A drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce for extra indulgence.
- Whipped cream to elevate the dessert experience.
