Equipment

Ingredients
 
 

Cookie Dough

  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ¾ teaspoon Baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon Baking soda
  • 5 Tablespoons Unsalted butter Softened
  • ½ cup Granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup Light brown sugar
  • 1 Large Egg Room temperature
  • 1 ½ Cups Chocolate chips, bittersweet

Skillet preparation

  • 2 Tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃)
  • 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

  • Wrap any leftover skillet cookies in plastic wrap and store at room temperature for up to 2 days.  If desired, reheat in a 300° F oven for 5 minutes to serve warm.
  • Serve with a scoop of ice cream or drizzle with caramel or chocolate sauce.
