Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Skillet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 10-inch oven-safe skillet with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, mix the melted butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth and combined. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, whisking well to incorporate.
  4. Form the Cookie Dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookie tender. Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts if using.
  5. Spread Dough in Skillet: Transfer the cookie dough to the prepared skillet and press it evenly to the edges.
  6. Bake the Cookie: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the edges are set and the center remains slightly soft. The cookie will firm up as it cools.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the skillet cookie to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce if desired.

Notes

  • Use an oven-safe skillet to seamlessly transfer from stovetop to oven for even baking.
  • Do not overbake to keep the cookie gooey in the center.
  • Feel free to substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark or milk chocolate chips according to preference.
  • Serve with ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
  • Ensure the skillet is well greased so the cookie releases easily after baking.
