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.

After a run-in with a cast iron skillet a few years ago, I’ve been avoiding them like they’re Ebola infested. But you’ve kinda convinced me to risk it. That ooey gooey chocolate…just can’t be beat.
Shelly,
I must admit that I read your blog every day (that you update) to feed my soul. I am currently dairy-free (& grains & legumes) & anxiously wait for the amazing dessert porn to pop up on my screen so I can close my eyes & imagine how amazing your treats are. My oldest (almost 2yo) has a serious dairy allergy & my youngest (4 mos) has some sensitivities too. So for now, you are my sugary link to my wildest dessert dreams. Thank you. This cookie skillet was just what I needed. Oh mama, it was good.
*ps- in my head we have stuck a deal, you eat these treats for me, & in return I’m eating your veggies for you. So far it’s working out for both of us.
total deal!!
This looks all kind of awesome!
Giant skillet cookies are one of my favorite things ever. Yours looks delicious!

YESSSS! It’s like we share a brain. I made a skillet cookie in my cast iron skillet too http://back4secondsblog.blogspot.com/2012/04/deep-dish-gooey-cookie-pie.html and I keep making different variations. It’s just so good. It may be a simple idea, but not much can top this! Have a great weekend!
I’ve had this bookmarked for ages but have never gotten round to it and now you’ve inspired me. Looks amazing… I wish I could have some now 🙂
This is one of my favorite things to eat!!! Right out of the cast iron pan!
Chocolate Chip Cookies are heaven on earth. Especially undercooked.
