Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie
Print RecipeIngredients
- ½ cup plus 2 Tbsp brown sugar (packed)
- ⅓ cup white sugar
- 6 Tbsp butter (room temperature)
- ¾ tsp salt
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 1 ½ tsp vanilla
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375°.
- In a large bowl, beat the brown sugar, white sugar, butter, and salt together until no clumps remain.
- Stir in the egg and vanilla until the egg is incorporated and the mixture is very loose and resembles cake batter – about 30 seconds.
- Add the flour and baking soda and mix until the dough comes together and no streaks remain – about 30 seconds.
- Stir in 3/4 cup chocolate chips, reserving the remaining chocolate chips, until evenly distributed.
- Scrape the batter into a 10" cast-iron skillet (or use a stainless steel skillet coated with non-stick spray). Pat the batter into the skillet with damp hands, spreading it evenly until it covers the entire bottom of the pan.
- Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the dough then sprinkle with sea salt.
- Bake the cookie until the outer edges are browned and slightly puffed – 18-25 minutes (15-18 minutes for stainless steel).
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the skillet for 1 hour.
- When cooled, cut into wedges and serve!
Notes:
You can make this ahead and store it, but it is best served fresh and slightly warm.
