A giant buttery, crisp chocolate chip cookie baked in a cast-iron skillet and served warm topped with vanilla ice cream. A restaurant style dessert that’s easy to make at home.
I saw Nestle’s Holiday Morsels with Red & Green Colored Morsels at the store recently and thought they would be a fun way to dress up a skillet cookie for the holidays.
This giant cookie was a big hit with my family. My daughter especially loved how the cast-iron skillet crisped up the bottom of cookie but the top was still soft and chewy. It’s an easy, fun treat to make and would be a perfect treat to serve during the holidays.
Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie
Ingredients
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter softened, divided
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips*
- vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF and grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch cast-iron skillet with 2 tablespoons of the butter.
- Add the remaining 8 tablespoons of butter and the sugars to the bowl of a stand mixer and beat until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla, beating until well combined.
- Add the flour, baking soda, and salt to a large bowl and mix to combine. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low. Add the chocolate chips and mix on low until just combined.
- Press the cookie dough into the prepared skillet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the edges are crisp and the cookie is golden and cooked through. Remove from oven.
- Serve warm topped with vanilla ice cream.

I recently went to a restaurant in Louisville, KY that served a warm chocolate chip cookie in a pan with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top! It was DELICIOUS! This recipe reminds me of that!
I would love a copy of The Picky Palate cookbook. I have two picky eaters in my family…one is my husband and the other is my daughter!

The moment I read the name of the cookbook, I knew that was exactly what I needed. I have the MOST PICKY grandchildren in the world. Trying to come up with things they will eat (other than fast food) when they spend the weekend with me is exhausting! I do not know how they got like this, as my children always ate whatever I cooked, (for the most part) but it is a real trial for me to plan meals for them, I am a widow and in my 70’s so I need proven recipes that will work for them and me. It would be a treat to have this cookbook. Thanks for the opportunity to put my name in. Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi Yvette – it cut really easily. I just used a pizza cutter and cut it in to wedges to serve it.
