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 used Nestle’s Holiday Morsels with Red & Green Colored Morsels

This looks like the perfect family treat. I’ll be with my kids at Thanksgiving–we will make it then.

Thank you so much Barbara for joining in and participating to help spread the word about ways to donate to relief efforts. The skillet cookie is a genius idea, I think I will try this soon.

Love the idea of making the cookie in the skillet. The cookbook sounds like a kepper!

Yea! Can we enter to win that skillet too 😉 Where did you get it by the way?! I’ve been itching for one and think it may be in Santa’s sack this year!

I love skillet cookies! What could be better than a giant cookie? 🙂 YOU gave me my first blogging award a long time ago, and I was beyond excited! Have a great day, my friend:)

Oooo… Served warm with some vanilla ice cream on top would be delicious right about now. Even with the nor’easter yesterday. Thanks for the giveaway.

I’ve made skillet brownies, but not a cookie. Must try. Jenny’s is one of the first blogs I ever started reading, too.

Chocolate chip cookies are great…a giant one is even better. I think I’ll make this tonight to bring a special treat to my coworkers tomorrow. I might need to make two 🙂

That is a treat I love. So irresistible!

That’s one big cookie…but I could prob. eat it by myself. I’d need a gallon of milk, too, but…..
