Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie

A couple of years ago, we bought a cast iron skillet with the intention of making homemade cornbread, the quintessential southern grain. Cornbread is just perfect for soaking up chili or stew, or paired alongside some fried chicken. I like cornbread with pretty much any meal, though. Hmm, that might need to be a future recipe! 

Well, we did the easy part of actually purchasing the cast iron skillet and then never got around to the part where you season it before its first use. I would see it sitting there inside my cabinet with the other pots and pans just begging to be used, but neither my husband nor I was quite sure of how to go about preparing it. I’m sure a simple Google search could’ve helped us out, but I chalk up its disregard to pure laziness on our parts. So, there it sat.

Until my husband’s parents came to visit over Christmas this year. My father-in-law saw our poor skillet looking sad and neglected, and declared that seasoning one really isn’t that hard at all. And so, he took care of that step for us! Thank goodness for him, because now I can create delicious concoctions like the one I’m sharing with you today:cookie pie in a large skilletThis baby is sinfully delicious! It would be in your best interest to make this when you have a few people to serve it to, otherwise you will eat this all by yourself. I speak from personal experience, though I did have to share some with my husband. It was basically a competition between both of our forks as to who would get the most. Oh, and our son did get SOME, too… 😉

This is not difficult to make; it all comes together in one pan and is then baked in that same pan! Easy peasy. Jessica over at How Sweet Eats uses dark chocolate to make hers, but I decided to forge ahead with just good ole’ chocolate chips since I didn’t have any dark chocolate. It’s still out of this world, though I’m sure dark chocolate would add another layer of flavor!

Start by melting your butter over medium-low heat.butter melting in a panOnce nice and melty add in your sugars.butter and sugar in a skilletStir until smooth and then remove skillet from heat for a few minutes. Jessica says you want the skillet to remain warm, but not too hot.

Next add in the egg and vanilla and whisk until smooth.butter and sugar in a skillet with a whisk Then add in your dry ingredients and stir until it becomes a batter.butter and sugar in a skillet with flourFinally, add in your chocolate chips and stir.cookie batter with chocolate chips in a skilletThen bake in a 350 degree oven for about 15-25 minutes until it turns golden at the edges. Once done, let it cool for a few minutes. It’s perfect when it’s nice and warm.

We are crazy people and didn’t have any ice cream to eat this with, but I did have some whipped cream so I squirted that on. Delicious, but I’m pretty sure vanilla ice cream would be the golden ticket!a slice of cookie pieDig in and hug your cast iron skillet! I’m so excited about all I can make with mine now! Hope y’all have a great weekend.

Ingredients

  • 1 stick butter
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Melt butter in an 8 inch cast iron skillet set over medium-low heat. Stir in sugars and vanilla and remove from heat. Let rest until pan is warm, but no longer very hot, about 5 minutes.
  • Crack an egg onto the butter and sugar mixture, and whisk it into the mixture. Place flour, baking soda, and salt on top, and very carefully stir into the mixture until smooth and well-mixed. Stir in chocolate chips. Place in the oven for 15-25 minutes, or until starting to turn golden on the top and around the edges, but still soft in the center. Serve with vanilla ice cream.

    Ashlyn, this is so funny… because, I just barely took out my cast iron and was trying to think of something to make in it … for dessert! This is perfect. I already have everything already to make it.
    Yay, for your father-in-law to take care of the seasoning for you!

    Ok, when I was living in Chicago we use to go to this place called the “Cubbie Bear” and would always get the “Cubbie Bear Cookie” for dessert. It was this with ice cream on top. Now I finally have the recipe! YUM! Thanks girl, pinning! Thanks for sharing at Show Stopper!

    I’m been meaning to purchase a cast-iron skillet for a couple years now. And I’m totally with you, I’ve held back on purchasing one because I don’t know how to season it. You cookie looks so amazing, I will have to go out and get one ASAP. It looks soooo good! Have pinned! Stopping by from Show Stopper Saturday. Thanks so much for sharing this great recipe!
