This is a basic brown and white sugar-based skillet cookie dough that you can flavor as you’d like and mix candy chips into. After you bake your skillet cookie, top with ice cream or a sauce of your choice for a restaurant-style dessert for 2-4 people. This is designed for an 8-inch skillet, but if you’d like a smaller dessert, you can halve the recipe by dividing it all in half and using only the egg yolk from the egg.
Ingredients
- 6 Tbsp butter
- 6 Tbsp brown sugar
- 3 Tbsp granulated sugar
- Dash of vanilla
- Pinch salt
- 1 egg
- 1 cup flour
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup chocolate chips
How to make a skillet cookie
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Microwave the butter until just melted in a large glass bowl
- Stir in the sugars, a dash of vanilla, and a pinch of salt. (If you want to flavor the dough with anything else, do so now.)
- Once the mixture is smooth, at the egg and stir
- Scoop the flour on to the butter and sugar mixture
- Sprinkle the making soda over the flour and mix gently with a fork
- Stir everything in the bowl until a dough forms
- Add in chocolate chips and/or other candy as desired.
- Press the dough into an 8-inch skillet, leaving the surface naturally rough. Sprinkle with extra salt if desired
- Bake in the 350 degree over for 14-17 minutes. Cookie is ready when the edges look golden brown and set, and the middle no longer looks wet, but still not quite “done.”
- Let cookie set at least 15 minutes before enjoying. We use this time to let ice cream soften for topping
- Top with desired toppings and eat with a friend!
