The best chocolate chip skillet cookie is the ultimate indulgent comfort food! It is soft and gooey in the middle, with golden edges. Every bite is filled with melty pockets of chocolate. Top it with vanilla ice cream and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt for an extra treat.
In a 10" cast iron skillet, melt the butter over medium-low to low heat just until almost melted. Remove from heat and stir in the brown sugar until smooth. Let this mixture cool for 15ish minutes so the eggs don't scramble. Can place it in the refrigerator to cool!
1 cup (226g) butter, 1½ cups (310g) packed brown sugar
Add the eggs and vanilla and stir well to combine. Stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the chocolate chips just until combined.
2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla
Bake for 25-30 minutes for a really gooey center or 30-35 minutes for a little less gooey center and firmer edges. Tent with foil if starting to brown too much. Let cool 5-10 minutes before serving.
2½ cups (375g) all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, 1½ cups (280g) chocolate chips
Notes
Serve with a sprinkle of sea salt and vanilla ice cream.
