Oh yes. That is one big skillet chocolate chip cookie.
And even better — the recipe is featured in the new Picky Palate Cookbook from a blogger I absolutely adore — Jenny from (you guessed it) Picky Palate!!!
I have been a total fan of Jenny and her yummy blog since before I even really knew what a “blog” was. I’m sure tons of you have already visited her site, or seen some of the delicious creations she has floating around on the web and Pinterest. (Have you ever heard of Oreo-stuffed chocolate chip cookies? Yep — those are from Jenny!) I have especially admired her for years because of her never-ending creativity when it comes to dreaming up new recipes. She is always coming up with the unique ideas to share, especially in the sweets department. But I, along with countless other bloggers, also love her because of her because of the kindness, encouragement and total joy that she brings to the blogging community.
So I’m stoked that her first cookbook has finally been released! I received a copy last week, and have already dog-eared tons of recipes to try. But the recipe that jumped off the page immediately was this classic “Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie”. It is exactly what it looks like — one huge, warm skillet of deliciousness, all the better when served up along with some vanilla ice cream. Delish.
Thanks for the recipe, Jenny! And congrats again on a wonderful cookbook!!
Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie
Ingredients
- 10 Tbsp. unsalted butter, softened, divided
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract, store-bought or homemade
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch cast-iron skillet with 2 tablespoons of the butter.
- Add the remaining 8 tablespoons of butter and the sugars to the bowl of a stand mixer and beat until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla, beating until well combined.
- Add the flour, baking soda, and salt to a large bowl and mix to combine. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low. Add the chocolate chips and mix on low until just combined. Press the cookie dough into the prepared skillet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the edges are crisp and the cookie is golden and cooked through. Remove from oven. Serve warm topped with vanilla ice cream.

This is so good! I made this for my family over 20 times and I masted the recipe! Also, a good tip that i made my self is: put is oven for 15min(so you can check), then take out for 10 min , then put bake for 5 min, then enjoy your cookie!
Hi, can I make this skillet without a hand or stand mixer?
I, unfortunately, do not have any of them at the moment but would love to make this anyway.
Kind regards,
Katherine
Made this for my daughters 6th birthday party! It was a HUGE hit! Everyone loved it and it was gone within minutes. It was just the right consistency and texture. and not to overly sweet! I used mini chips because it was what I had, but they worked great!
It’s great! It’s like a cakie or and buiscake!
Hi, can I leave out the kosher salt or substitute with something else as we do not have that ingredient here in Sweden…
Hi there! Yes, you can just use regular table salt or iodized salt (whatever salt you normally have on hand). We hope you enjoy these!
This cookie recipe is wonderful. I added coconut and pecans for more flavor. I didn’t have a 9 inch cast iron skillet so instead I used my 10.5 cast iron skillet. It baked beautifully. I like a chewie cookie so I always add coconut and nuts to my recipes. I can see using all sorts of other types of chips as well being used. A good way to use up leftover chips. So much for the diet right now.
Thanks for sharing, Roberta — we’re glad you enjoyed it and the coconut and pecans sound like awesome additions!
