A giant skillet cookie stuffed with extra chocolate chips and a gooey center, perfect for sharing and easy to make in about 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour (about 315 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks, 226 grams) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar (150 grams)
  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar (165 grams)
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups chocolate chips (about 450 grams), semi-sweet or a mix of semi-sweet and milk chocolate
  • Optional: pinch of sea salt flakes for sprinkling on top

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place your skillet in the oven while it heats to warm it up.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar using a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, fully incorporating each before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in 2 cups of the chocolate chips gently using a spatula, reserving ½ cup for topping.
  7. Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and grease it lightly with butter or nonstick spray.
  8. Spread half the cookie dough evenly across the skillet bottom.
  9. Sprinkle about 1 cup of the reserved chocolate chips over the dough as a stuffing layer.
  10. Cover with the remaining cookie dough, spreading evenly to seal the chocolate inside.
  11. Scatter the last ½ cup chocolate chips over the top of the cookie dough. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt flakes.
  12. Bake the skillet in the oven for 22-26 minutes until edges are golden brown and set but the center is still soft and gooey.
  13. Let the cookie cool in the skillet for 10-15 minutes before serving.
  14. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce.

Notes

Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and achieve a chewy center. Avoid overmixing the dough to keep the cookie tender. Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet for best results. If edges bake faster than the center, cover skillet loosely with foil halfway through baking.
