A warm, gooey chocolate chip cookie baked in a cast iron skillet, topped with vanilla ice cream for a cozy and indulgent dessert perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, plus a pinch for sprinkling on top
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or mix of semi-sweet and milk chocolate)
  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place your 8-inch cast iron skillet inside while the oven heats to warm the pan (about 10 minutes).
  2. Melt the butter gently in a small saucepan or microwave until just melted, not browned. Let it cool slightly.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine granulated sugar and brown sugar. Stir in the melted butter until combined and glossy.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the sugar-butter mixture. Beat gently until smooth and creamy, avoiding overmixing.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula until just combined.
  7. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
  8. Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven using oven mitts. Lightly grease if desired.
  9. Press the cookie dough evenly into the skillet, smoothing the top with a spatula or fingers.
  10. Sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt over the top of the dough.
  11. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and the center looks set but still soft and slightly jiggly.
  12. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
  13. Scoop generous portions of vanilla ice cream on top of each serving and serve warm.

Notes

Preheat the skillet in the oven to get crispy edges. Melt butter gently and let cool before mixing with egg to avoid cooking the egg. Do not overmix the dough once flour is added to keep the cookie tender. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top before baking to enhance flavor. If edges bake too quickly, cover loosely with foil halfway through baking. The cookie continues to cook slightly after removal from oven, so a slightly underbaked center is ideal.
