A quick and easy skillet cookie recipe featuring a perfect balance of crispy edges and a gooey, melty chocolate center. Made in one pan, it’s ideal for cozy nights and last-minute dessert cravings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (110g) packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (135g) chocolate chips or chunks (semi-sweet and milk chocolate mix)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch oven-safe skillet with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently just until combined. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks gently.
  7. Spoon the cookie dough evenly into the prepared skillet, spreading it out to cover the base.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes, until the edges are golden and crisp but the center remains soft and slightly underbaked.
  9. Let the skillet cool for 5 minutes before serving to allow the cookie to set slightly but remain gooey.
  10. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce.

Notes

Use softened but not melted butter for best creaming results. Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough cookies. Check the cookie starting at 18 minutes to keep the center gooey. Let the skillet rest 5 minutes before serving. For dairy-free, use plant-based butter and dairy-free chocolate chips. For gluten-free, substitute flour with a gluten-free blend.
