Gooey Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie

This giant, soft skillet-baked chocolate chip cookie is the ultimate indulgence for cookie lovers! And it makes more than enough to share. Top with vanilla ice cream for a truly decadent treat.

I’ve made chocolate chip cookies into bars, flourless blondies, bakery style batches, and even microwaved them in a mug. However, I’ve never baked them this BIG. And since we’re in Texas, of course, everything is just a little bigger. So, you know I need to represent.

I have cooked a lot of savory scrumptiousness in this pan, but this is the first time I’ve ever skillet-baked a sweet! And it turned out amazingly good. And soft. And gooey. Oh, the gooiness.

I apologize in advance to your New Year resolutions.

Using a batch of my best-ever chocolate chip cookie dough, this golden brown skillet cookie couldn’t have been simpler. I just greased my pan well, spread out the dough (pinching off a bit for taste-testing, naturally), and slid it into a hot oven. Just 30 minutes later, it was ready for devouring with a dollop of vanilla ice cream and my cookie-lovin’ partner in crime.

This skillet cookie is outrageously good (and did I mention soft and gooey?), and since it requires no cookie scooping, super quick to assemble! For a fun weekend project, potluck parties, girls’ night in or any occasion, you’re going to love this chocolate chip cookie in a pan.

We sure did!

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg

• 1 cup semisweet or milk chocolate chips

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
