Triple Chocolate Cookie Skillet

Imagine the best chocolate chip cookie you've ever had, but baked in a cast iron skillet so the edges are crispy and golden while the center stays impossibly gooey. Now triple the chocolate — cocoa in the dough, dark chocolate chunks, and white chocolate chips — and top the whole thing with a scoop of ice cream while it's still warm.

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • Vanilla ice cream for serving
  • Chocolate sauce for drizzle

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly butter a 10-inch cast iron skillet.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth.
  4. Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Fold with a spatula until just combined.
  5. Fold in the dark chocolate chunks and white chocolate chips.
  6. Press the dough evenly into the prepared skillet.
  7. Bake for 22-25 minutes until the edges are set and slightly pulling away from the sides, but the center is still soft.
  8. Let cool for 5 minutes in the skillet.
  9. Top with scoops of vanilla ice cream and drizzle with chocolate sauce.
  10. Serve directly from the skillet with spoons.

Notes

Don't overbake — the center should look slightly underdone when you pull it out. It continues cooking in the hot skillet. A cast iron skillet is ideal because it retains heat, but any oven-safe 10-inch skillet works. For salted chocolate perfection, sprinkle flaky sea salt over the top right before serving. The white chocolate chips add beautiful contrast against the dark chocolate dough.
