Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie

by: Mrs. Castodio (5th grade teacher)

If you know me, you know that I have a BIG sweet tooth and chocolate chip cookies are my favorite sweet treat! When my husband and I got married last year, our friends gifted us a cookbook that they wrote themselves, called The New Newlywed Cookbook. As I was flipping through, this recipe caught my eye and it was the first one I made. I used two mini skillets so that I could have my own warm, gooey cookie skillet all to myself! It is a fun way to change up your traditional chocolate chip cookie dessert and is so delicious with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!

Ingredients

1/2 cup (plus 1 tablespoon) all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1/2 cup chocolate chips of your choice

You will need a cast iron skillet (or two mini skillets!) to make this recipe

Recipe Steps

  1. Preheat the often to 350 degrees.
  2. In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, stir together the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla until creamy. Add the egg and mix until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Using a spatula, mix all the ingredients together, scraping down the sides of the bowl.
  5. Stir the chocolate chips into the dough.
  6. Grease a small cast iron skillet (or two mini skillets). Add the cookie dough to the greased skillet, spreading it in an even layer.
  7. Bake for 25 minutes or until the cookie begins to turn brown on top.
