Directions
1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2
Grease an 8-inch cast iron or oven-safe skillet or a similarly sized cake pan with a little additional butter. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, egg, vanilla, and both sugars with a hand mixer.
3
Stir in salt, baking soda, and flour. Lastly, mix in chocolate chips.

Tips for making this skillet cookie recipe:
- This recipe works best in an 8 or 9-inch oven-proof skillet. Today I used my scratch-resistant 8-inch HexClad skillet, and love the results. I have also used a cast iron skillet before too.
- Feel free to create similar versions with other add-ins. Walnuts would have been great in this cookie. Next time we will make a yummy M&Ms version by adding candy instead of chocolate chips.
- If your oven runs hotter than usual, be sure to keep on eye on this as it’s best when slightly under cooked and soft!
Learning how to make a skillet cookie is super EASY!
Instead of rolling individual chocolate chip cookies, this is the way to go! My teen daughter and her friends made this chocolate chip skillet cookie for a recent sleepover and told me she was surprised at how simple this process is. Baking a skillet cookie and adding ice cream is a perfect late-night dessert to share with friends. YUM

I made this for my birthday last year. It was C-R-A-Z-Y Good!!!!
Awesome! I just ordered that Lodge 2 piece set deal that was $25.xx from Amazon. It came today. This is going to be the first thing I try in it, YUM!
Looks mm mm mm mm Lina! May I stop by for a slice? ? 😉
Yes please do so I don’t eat the whole thing before my family gets home! Ha
I NEED ONE NOW!!
Oh my yum!!! Sure fire way to ruin my calorie count for the day. 😜 Thank you for sharing, Lina! 😃 Will definitely have to make this, my girls will love it! 😃
I’m gonna make this for dessert tonight! Thanks for the recipe!
I make this in a 9 inch glass pie plate in the oven. Love it.
So off topic a bit but how do you clean a cast iron skillet? I’ve tried different things and it’s just not working. BTW Lina this looks amazing and will try it once I get it cleaned.
This is my favorite skillet!
Here’s a video on how to take care from Lodge

This is the only reason why I keep my cast iron skillet 🙂
We’ve also made PB cookie dough and thrown in some chocolate chips and baked it and it was awesome too.
Oh yum!
LINA!!! This looks amazing! Can’t wait to try!
Funny. I was coming to say I just clipped this from Martha Stewart magazine. Everyone has been running cast iron skillet dessert recipes. Strange how it goes in cycles. A few years ago, it was cast iron skillet Dutch baby recipes everywhere.
I tried three different recipes on when researching this post idea and this is a winner! Enjoy 😄
Your family got to eat three different versions?!! I’m jealous! 😜 but that’s very interesting getting a glimpse into your process!
This sounds so good right now! We made something similar, put a pie pan, and put it on the grill while we were on a camping trip! Then topped it with ice cream of course. Great idea, thanks Lina!
Wow great idea for camping!
Thanks! My hubby loves these at restaurants and his birthday is in 2 weeks. Perfect surprise for after dinner!
Yes I agree! Yum
I pinned it! can’t wait to try it!
I’ve made this before on the grill when the power went out and it was delicious.
Off topic… But someone asked how to clean a skillet… I would like to ask how to clean a ceramic fry pan? I got marks of cooking all over my white ceramic pan 🙁
Hi Sara,
I found this online….hope it’s helpful to you 🙂

Always Hand Wash Ceramic-Coated Pans
Always allow a frying pan to cool down before cleaning. Clean your ceramic frying pan with warm soapy water and a soft sponge or dish cloth. To remove burnt food from a pan, soak the pan in hot water for 30 minutes before washing. This will make cleaning easier.
Thoroughly clean the pan inside and outside after every use to remove all residues and to prevent grease build-up and discoloration. For best results use a soft cloth, sponge or plastic scrub to wash the pan. Avoid using steel wool, nylon scrubbing pads or any abrasive cleaning products. Rinse well in warm water and dry cookware completely before storing.
Thanks! My fry pan has so much oil build up and burnt on sides 🙁
Yummy.. Definitely have to try this one.. Thank you!!!
Cover liberally with salt and let sit for an hour or two….and then scrub it with a dry scrubber. The salt will absorb the grease and with a bit of dry scrubbing shoul come off
Saw this. Made it. It’s awesome
Yup. Gonna try it but with 2 cups chocolate chips!
Off topic but does anyone have a apple cake recipe that’s baked in a cast iron skillet? My mom used to make it but lost the recipe and I haven’t found anything that matches what I remember. TIA
Take it to the next level by adding a teaspoon or two of instant coffee. Serve with coffee ice cream. Deliciousness.
Can I use flaxseed or applesauce instead of egg in this recipe? If so, how much?
Use flaxseed not applesauce. Should be ok. Might be a little crumbly.
Get the mini lodge skillets and you can have individual desserts. We love out mini skillets.
Do you use light or dark brown sugar?
I made the cookie cake this weekend in my cast iron skillet and it was wonderful! The while family loved it. Thanks for sharing!! 🙂
I bought this pan from your link. Love it. and the cookie….wonderful 🙂 Now I want to try the PB skillet cookie.
Made this tonight, it was delicious! We ate it after it cooled about 5 min but it tasted better after it cooled a little more. Will def make again!
Yum! Thanks for sharing 😀
I’ll have to try this- Gambinos Pizza stopped selling their “cookie pie” 🙁
Hoping you enjoy this recipe and it tastes as good as that restaurant option, Ms. Frizzle! 🤞🍪
