Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
Introduction
Skillet chocolate chip cookies are a delicious and indulgent treat that everyone loves. The combination of warm, gooey cookies with melty chocolate chips is simply irresistible. Baking them in a skillet gives the cookies a crispy outer layer while keeping the center soft and chewy. This recipe is perfect for those who want to enjoy a homemade, warm cookie without the hassle of individually scooping and baking them.
Ingredients
– 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
– 1 cup (220g) packed brown sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 3 cups (384g) all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 2 cups (340g) chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
7. Transfer the cookie dough into a well-seasoned 10-inch cast-iron skillet. Press it evenly into the skillet, ensuring the dough reaches the edges.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
9. Remove the skillet from the oven and let the cookies cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
