A quick and easy giant cookie baked in a cast iron skillet, perfect for birthdays and celebrations with a soft, gooey center and crisp edges.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (175g) chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate recommended)
  • Optional: festive sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the cast iron skillet in the oven while it heats.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined and slightly thickened.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until incorporated.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly.
  7. Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and lightly grease it with butter or non-stick spray.
  8. Spread the cookie dough evenly in the skillet to about 1/2 inch thickness.
  9. Bake for 22-25 minutes until edges are golden brown and center is set but still slightly soft.
  10. Let the cookie cool in the skillet for at least 10 minutes before serving. Top with sprinkles or ice cream if desired.

Notes

Preheat the skillet to get a crispy base. Avoid overmixing the dough to keep the cookie tender. Check the cookie at 22 minutes to avoid overbaking for a gooier center. Dough can be refrigerated up to 24 hours before baking. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and use dairy-free chocolate chips.
