These individual Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookies are easy to make and full of rich, gooey flavor. Serve them warm, straight from the skillet, for a rustic and crowd-pleasing dessert that's perfect for any occasion.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside for later.
2 cups All-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon Salt, ¾ teaspoon Baking powder, ½ teaspoon Baking soda
Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is well mixed. Note: A hand mixer can also be used if you don’t have a stand mixer.
5 Tablespoons Unsalted butter, ½ cup Granulated sugar, ¾ cup Light brown sugar
Add egg to the mixing bowl. Mix on medium speed until combined, scraping down sides of the bowl as needed.
1 Large Egg
Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed until combined.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips by hand using a spatula or wooden spoon, just until evenly combined.
1 ½ Cups Chocolate chips, bittersweet
Assemble and bake skillet cookies
Lightly brush each cast iron skillet with melted butter
2 Tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
Divide cookie dough evenly between the 6 skillets (approximately a scant ¼ cup of dough).
Using your hands or a dough tamper, lightly press dough evenly in each skillet.
Place skillets on a baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 12 - 14 minutes, or until tops and edges of cookies are browning.
Cool skillet cookies for 20 minutes before serving.
Enjoy!
Notes
