Please don’t criticize me, it’s been raining cats and dogs all week and my kids came home with amazing report cards, so they deserved this Friday treat, right?
Have you picked up a cast iron skillet yet? If so, have you ever made a cookie in it? I didn’t until today, and I am so glad I did as this cookie was YUMMY and super easy to make. Way easier in fact than baking up a bunch of cookies. This is the way to go folks if you want a quick and easy dessert. It could even be a great birthday cake. Just throw some candles on top and singHappy Birthday!
skillet-baked chocolate chip cookie:
recipe from Martha Stewart
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Bake until edges are brown and top is golden, 40-45 minutes. My cookie took 40 minutes to bake to perfection. Don’t over bake, as it will continue to cook a few minutes out of the oven.
- As you can see, the kids and their friends got to the cookie and were all part of the clean plate club.
BTW, I wrote post for Paradise Foods, (which is a local fine foods grocery store). Check it out here...
YUM!!! Found your blog via Marty (we went to college together) and am loving it. Made this on a whim for a BBQ last night, and served it with homemade ice cream and my mom’s hot fudge sauce. It was a hit! Super easy, and I love using my cast iron for anything and everything. I was worried the cookie might stick, as I followed the recipe exactly and didn’t put any additional butter or anything in the pan. Cookies came out with no problem, and the skillet-baking was great for crowd appeal, ha! Thank you! Looking forward to trying more recipes here!
Hi Kyla! SO happy you found the blog and thank you so much for taking the time to comment and let me know how the cookie turned out for you. It’s funny because I made this cookie last week as well. It’s just so good and so darn easy and your right, it does have great crowd appeal. I have served it with a big scoop of ice-cream in the middle but have not tried the hot fudge approach yet, so that’s on my list for next time. It would be so decadent.
The skillet continues to amaze me as well. I have had nothing stick to it and have only had it under a year, so it’s not like its super seasoned. If you ever want to deodorize your skillet, just heat the empty pan (dry pan) over a medium flame on the stovetop for 15 minutes or you can heat it in a 400-degree oven for 10 minutes. This method will take any lingering smell out of your skillet.

I so want this in my life!
BTW, saw it on FoodGawker…congrats 🙂 LOOKS so good!
My son will be thrilled if I bake this giant cookie for him. After reading lots of cast iron skillet cooking and baking, I would love to buy myself one. I have a frying pan that can be placed in the oven for baking but it is not cast iron…not rustic enough like yours 😛 *sign*
Oh my! This would be a huge hit in my house!
I’ve made a cookie cake but never in a skillet! How innovative. Will have to try this soon! 🙂
YUM!!! Ive seen these across the blog world a bit and they have always called my name ( I think we have very similar taste in food my lady!). SO delish looking – plus – choc chip cookies you dont have to worry about spreading?? Yes please!!!
Yay for good report cards as well. My parents used to take me to dog shows when I got good report cards. I was basically such a dog obsessed dork.
Hi Em! I’m so glad we meeting up face to face next week. Yes, we do have similar tastes in food and I think that is why we are food blogger buddies 🙂
You are like Zoe, she is dog obsessed and I wold not call that dorky at all. I call it awesome! She has loved dogs since she was 2. John is allergic so when we need dog fix we babysit our friends “hypo allergenic” dog, (if there even is such a thing).
