Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups (350 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking power
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 oz (85 g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (200 g) light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ - 2 cups (300 – 400 g) semisweet chocolate chips or chunks

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350º F (180º C) and grease a 10 or 12-inch cast-iron skillet with butter.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch. Set the bowl aside.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together unsalted butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add the granulated sugar and light brown sugar. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Then add the vanilla extract and beat until combined.
  • Reduce speed to low and gradually beat in flour mixture until combined.
  • Beat in chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  • Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, spread the cookie dough evenly into prepared skillet. Then sprinkle it with the sea salt and more chocolate chip on top, if desired.
  • Bake the cookie skillet for 30 to 35 minutes, or until it’s puffed, barely cooked in the center, and browned on the sides. If you want the cookie skillet less chewy you can bake it a little longer, around 40 minutes.
  • Remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes.
  • You can scoop/slice and serve. Or serve topped with ice cream and a whole bunch of spoons so everyone can dig in together.

Notes

 
Store: Cover leftovers and store them at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Reheat: Cover the skillet cookie with aluminum paper and bake for about 5 minutes. If you want to reheat an individual portion, transfer your portion to a microwave-safe plate and cover and microwave for about 15-20 seconds.
Make-Ahead: Prepare cookie dough through step 5. Form a disk, wrap it with plastic wrap, and then tightly with aluminum foil. Chill for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. When ready to bake, remove from the refrigerator and continue with the next step.
Freeze: Prepare cookie dough through step 5. Form a disk, wrap it with plastic wrap, and then tightly with aluminum foil. Freeze for up to 3 months in the freezer. When ready to bake, thaw in the refrigerator before continuing with the next step.
Skillet: You want anything from 9 to 12 inches in diameter. Make sure you are using an oven-safe skillet. When making skillet cookies, I always use my 10-inch cast-iron skillet. The baking time will vary depending on the size of your skillet. If your skillet is smaller it will take a little more time. If your skillet is larger it will take a little less time.
Extra Recipe Tips:
  • Don’t overbake! The edges should be browned and crisp while the middle is soft and gooey.
  • If you don't have a cast-iron skillet, use a regular oven-safe skillet, or a pie plate. A springform pan would also work!
  • Make individual portions. To do so, simply divide the cookie dough evenly among mini cast-iron dishes, gratin pans, or ramekins. Make sure you keep a close eye on the baking time. Adjust the time down for smaller or shallower dishes and add more time for more dough or deeper dishes.
