This Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie is the fastest and easiest way to make a giant cookie! It’s the perfect shareable dessert, and it tastes like heaven with ice cream on top!
Sometimes things don’t turn out as planned.
It happens to the best of us.
This was not supposed to be a giant cookie in a skillet.
Nope.
It was supposed to be a jacked-up, cobbler-ish type-deal.
When all was said and done, it was less cobbler-ish and more jacked-up.
Not jacked-up in a bad, My Strange Addiction way…
Jacked-up in a heck yeah, I-need-a, gimme kinda way.
I know I’m not reinventing the wheel here, but this was just too much delicious not to share.
I’m a giver.
What’s also pretty super-duper awesome about this cookie is that you mix it up in one bowl. All you need is a bowl, a skillet and a wooden spoon.
It’s like the olden days when people wrote with feathers and used candles for light, not smells.
See…one bowl…wooden spoon…
Press it evenly into your skillet.
By the way, if you don’t own a cast iron skillet you need to get one. Like now.
You won’t love it at first. But stick with it. You will want to marry it soon enough…
Then bake. And under-cook the heck out of it.
Eat it out of the pan, or serve it with ice cream.
Either way is the right choice.

I don’t own a cast iron skillet yet. I’ve had one sitting in my amazon shopping cart for weeks if that counts for anything 🙂
I love skillet cookie! It is kind of a famous dessert around this house. Underbake like crazy, stop with ice cream, hot fudge, whipped cream and sprinkles – then everyone grab a spoon and go to town! Drooling now!
love this!!! too good!
Woah, your’s is the ultimate cookie. So goooooeey!!!!! I just may have to skip the whole grains next time. 😉
Well then, looks like I need to bust out my cast iron skillet!
Yours skillet cookie looks amazing! I only have mini skillets, but I made a very similar version of these last year. You can see my mini versions here if you’d like: http://www.madewithpink.com/2011/07/espn-chocolate-chip-cookie-sundae.html
I love making these! They are so good! And they also make the perfect “cookie cake”
p.s. is that really the cast iron skillet you use? the one you have linked? if so, it’s a great value$$ !
Yes! I know, it’s so cheap! I didn’t buy a pre-seasoned one, which seem to be a little more expensive, which may be the reason that I didn’t love it at first…I had to do all my own “seasoning” but now I seriously couldn’t live without it. It’s one on my most favorite kitchen things 🙂
