Equipment

Ingredients
  

Cookie Dough

  • 2 cups All Purpose Flour (240 grams)
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ¾ teaspoon Baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon Baking soda
  • 5 ounces Unsalted butter, room temperature (141 grams / 10 tablespoons)
  • ½ cup Granulated sugar (100 grams)
  • ¾ cup Light brown sugar (160 grams)
  • 1 Large Egg, room temperature
  • 1 ½ Cups Chocolate chips, bittersweet (255 grams)

Skillet preparation

  • 2 Tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
  • Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, begin creaming the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy (2 - 3 minutes on medium speed). Scrape the bowl as needed. (note: a hand mixer may also be used)
  • Add the egg to the mixing bowl. Mix on medium speed until combined, scraping the bowl as needed.
  • Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed until combined.
  • Stir in the chocolate chips by hand.

Assemble and bake skillet cookies

  • Lightly brush each cast iron skillet with melted butter
  • 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.
  • If desired, serve with a scoop of ice cream or drizzle with caramel or chocolate sauce.
