Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookies

December 28, 2016 by Judy Leave a Comment

Chocolate Chip Cookies baked in a cast iron mini skillet
making the perfect dessert for two!

After baking and decorating dozens of sugar and gingerbread cookies for Christmas this year, in shades of red and green, I was ready for baking something simple and classic. It’s fitting to end the year with my favorite cookie recipe- Chocolate Chip Cookies. I planned to make the recipe a bit more special for the last few days of 2016, so I baked this small batch of cookies in a mini cast iron skillet. It’s a plan that I highly recommend! More dessert than cookie, I used a 6 inch square cast iron skillet, buttered slightly, filled with chocolate chip cookie batter, topped with chunks of dark chocolate and baked in the oven. I included both semi-sweet chocolate chips and dark chocolate chunks for this recipe to avoid too much sweetness, then topped the whole delicious pan with sea salt. 

Crispy edges and a gooey, chocolaty center makes this skillet a dessert that is meant for sharing, using forks or spoons. I can picture this sweetness topped with a scoop of ice cream but we enjoyed it just as it came out of the oven, melting chocolate and all.
Enjoy the last few days of 2016 and cheers to a Happy New Year of 2017!

Happy Baking!  Judy

I used a square cast iron skillet that I purchased years ago in a rural country store. You can buy 6 1/2 inch round cast iron skillets at various places, including Target, Walmart, Amazon, etc. Here’s a link for the brand I have, though for a round one instead of the square one that I used. The shape won’t matter and should work just fine for this recipe. Lodge Cast Iron Skillets are available online here. If you do happen to have a smaller skillet, just scale back on the dough you use in the skillet and make an extra cookie or two on a cookie sheet.

We enjoyed this skillet chocolate chip cookie right out of the pan. No need to remove from the skillet first, though looking back, a scoop ( or two ) of ice cream would have been a great idea!
