Nothing quite beats the comforting indulgence of a warm, gooey Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie. It’s like your favorite chocolate chip cookie, but better, it’s baked in a skillet, giving it crispy edges, a soft center, and a melting pool of chocolate chips in every bite. Perfect for sharing (or not), this dessert is a simple yet show-stopping way to satisfy your sweet tooth.
The beauty of a skillet cookie lies in its versatility. With just a handful of ingredients like butter, sugar, flour, and plenty of chocolate chips, it comes together quickly and effortlessly. The skillet ensures that the cookie cooks evenly, giving you that golden-brown, slightly crunchy edge while keeping the middle soft and chewy, just the way a cookie should be.
One of the best things about this cookie is how customizable it is. Add a pinch of sea salt on top for a sweet and salty contrast, or fold in some chopped nuts for extra crunch. You can even serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, letting it melt into the cookie for a decadent treat.
Baking it in a skillet also means it’s easy to serve right from the pan, making it a perfect dessert for casual gatherings or a cozy night in. The aroma of freshly baked chocolate chip cookie fills the room, setting the stage for an indulgent, feel-good dessert experience.
Whether you’re feeding a crowd or treating yourself to something special, a Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie is sure to hit the spot. It’s simple, delicious, and guaranteed to make any occasion feel a little sweeter. So, grab your skillet and enjoy the ultimate chocolate chip cookie experience, warm, gooey, and completely irresistible.

My kids had a blast helping me make this cookie. They loved the chocolate chips!
My grandma made cookies like these but without chips. I think this recipe’s missing something – maybe some oatmeal? 🤷♂️
Fabulous recipe! Made it for my kids and they loved it! We added nuts too, it was crunchy and amazing! Definitely doing this again. 🍪
Not bad! But I think adding nuts would make it even better. Maybe next time I’ll do that.
First time baking and it turned out surprisingly good! Thanks for the easy steps.
Too much sugar if u ask me. But still yummy! Maybe I will put less next time and do it again.
I don’t understand how people think this is a real cookie. It was just a big mush in a pan, tastes ok tho I guess.
Delicious! Just like a big chocolate chip cookie! 😋 But I think it’s too sweet for my taste – maybe I’ll cut the sugar next time.
This is just like the cookies my grandma made! Brings back memories. ❤️
I followed the directions exactly, but it turned out too crumbly. What went wrong? I used whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose.
Whole wheat flour can absorb more moisture than all-purpose, which might be why your cookie came out crumbly. Maybe try adding a bit more butter or an extra egg next time!
I made this but it burned on the edges and was raw in the middle. What did I do wrong??
Yummy!
Absolutely love this recipe! It’s super easy and so delicious. My family devoured it in minutes!
10/10 would bake again. So gooey and chocolatey, I couldn’t stop eating it, haha!
I don’t have a skillet, can I use a regular pan? 🤷♀️
Choco chips in a skillet? Weird but I tried it and it works! A fun twist on normal cookies. Very chewy!
That sounds amazing! I’ve never thought of making cookies in a skillet. Can’t wait to try it!
This recipe is a game changer! So easy and delicious! 🍪
Why do you use brown sugar? White sugar is better. Just a personal preference!
This recipe is a total flop. I think it needs more brown sugar or something. Mine didn’t rise at all.
I had the same issue! Maybe try adding an extra egg next time. That might help it rise better!
Idk, I think it’s fine as is. Mine turned out great, maybe you just mixed it too much?
I don’t know why this went wrong for me. The dough was way too sticky and wouldn’t spread out, it was a mess. 😩
This is impossible! How can anyone make this without ruining it. I’m never trying to bake again. 👎
This was sooooo good! I can’t believe how easy it was to make. My whole family devoured it in just minutes! ❤️
I’m not a baker but it came out ok. I used margarine instead of butter… will that mess things up?
YUM!!! I love chocolate chips! Will make again for sure!
Tasted great, but I think the amount of butter is too much for my health. 😅
Honestly, I think it should have more baking time. Mine was raw in the middle even tho I followed the time… Disappointed.
