Chocolate Chip Cookie Skillet

One of our favorite dessert to bring someone on their birthday is this Chocolate Chip Cookie Skillet. It looks like a cake, especially if you decorate it like we did. The best part? When you cut into it, you reveal a giant, fluffy chocolate chip cookie. Marry your skillet with your favorite cookie recipe, or follow the recipe below to make an everything-but-the-kitchen-sink cookie!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Skillet

We have some weird family members who don’t like cake.

I know. Who doesn’t like cake?!

But this giant chocolate chip cookie skillet presents the perfect solution for a pretty and easy dessert – and the difference between making this cookie in a cast iron skillet instead of a circular cookie pan is that it ensures a deep-dish cookie with a tender, fluffy inside.

(Giant cookies on a cookie sheet tend to spread out too much and can be easily overcooked.)

For the cookie, you can use your favorite cookie recipe – our brown butter chocolate chip cookie or caramel-stuffed double chocolate cookies would be delicious, but for this cookie, we wanted an “everything but the kitchen sink approach” so we decided to go with our version of the famous Hilton Doubletree cookies, with shredded coconut, oats, walnuts, chocolate chips and a secret ingredient!

This recipe makes enough for one 1 skillet cookie plus approximately 8 single-serving size cookies which are great when you’re baking with kids. They can enjoy the “bonus cookies” and not be tempted to cut into the giant skillet cookie before you have a chance to gift it.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup quick oats
• 2 1/4 cups flour
• 2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 Tablespoon cinnamon
• 1 cup butter
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups milk chocolate chips
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• 1/2 cup shredded coconut

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350F
• Grease a non-stick cast iron skillet and set aside.
• Combine the oats, flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine butter and sugars until fluffy - about 2 minutes.
• Add in the eggs and vanilla, mix well, then add in the lemon juice.
• Add the flour mixture in one cup increments until fully combined.
• Stir in the chocolate chips, walnuts and coconut and then fold the batter out into the skillet. (You should have approximately 1 cup of batter left over for individual cookies.)
• Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown on top and fully cooked in the center. Watch carefully so it doesn't burn.
• Garnish as desired - we used a closed star tip on a piping bag filled with vanilla buttercream to make small dollops around the edge, added cherries, walnuts, and sprinkles and extra chocolate chips and shredded coconut for a fun birthday finish.
