A quick and easy small batch chocolate chip cookie baked in a 6-inch cast iron skillet, perfect for two people. It features a crisp golden edge and a soft, gooey center for a cozy dessert experience.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg yolk, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour (43 grams)
  • Pinch of baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (45 grams)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly grease a 6-inch cast iron skillet with butter or nonstick spray.
  3. In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until smooth and slightly fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract and egg yolk until fully incorporated.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  7. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly.
  8. Spoon the dough into the prepared skillet and gently press it out to an even layer about 1/2 inch thick.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, checking at 12 minutes. The edges should be golden and set, while the center remains slightly soft and jiggly.
  10. Let the cookie cool in the skillet for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or a glass of cold milk.

Notes

Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet for best heat distribution and crisp edges. Avoid overmixing the dough to keep the cookie tender. Watch the baking time closely to maintain a gooey center. Butter can be substituted with coconut oil for a dairy-free version, and almond flour can replace all-purpose flour for gluten-free adaptations.
