A quick and easy skillet cookie recipe designed for two, featuring gooey chocolate chunks and crispy edges for the perfect indulgent dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons (56 grams) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50 grams) light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons (110 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (90 grams) chocolate chunks (semi-sweet or bittersweet)
  • Optional: 1/4 cup (30 grams) chopped toasted walnuts or pecans
  • Optional: flaky sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly grease an 8-inch cast-iron skillet with butter or non-stick spray.
  3. In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated sugar and light brown sugar until fluffy and light, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and stir until just combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  7. Stir in the chocolate chunks evenly.
  8. Transfer the dough to the prepared skillet and spread evenly.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes until edges are golden brown and the center is still soft and slightly underbaked.
  10. Let the skillet cookie rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not overmix the dough to keep the cookie tender. Use room temperature ingredients for best results. Check the cookie at 18 minutes to ensure a gooey center. Tent with foil if edges brown too quickly. Dough can be refrigerated up to 24 hours before baking.
