Description
This decadent skillet cookie offers the ultimate dessert experience, combining a crisp, golden-brown edge with a gooey, molten center. Baked in a heavy cast-iron pan for perfect heat distribution, this treat uses high-quality melted butter and premium dark chocolate chunks to achieve a rich, fudgy texture. It is the perfect professional-grade indulgence to bake at home for family gatherings or dinner parties, best served warm with a scoop of cold vanilla ice cream.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
0.5 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
0.5 tsp baking soda
0.5 tsp salt
1.5 cups dark chocolate chunks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fully combined.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and stir until the texture is smooth and glossy.
Incorporate the baking soda and salt into the wet mixture.
Gradually fold in the flour until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Fold in the dark chocolate chunks.
Transfer the cookie dough into the prepared skillet and spread it evenly to the edges.
Bake for 25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set but still slightly soft.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving directly from the skillet.
Notes
Ensure the butter is only slightly cooled so it mixes well with the sugars. For the best texture, do not overbake; the center should remain slightly molten. Serve warm with a scoop of premium vanilla ice cream for the best experience.
