This skillet-baked giant cookie has humble origins in California restaurants but has become a beloved home treat for good reason. Simple to make with pantry staples, it transforms basic chocolate chip cookie dough into something special through its unique preparation method.

Ingrédients
115 g 1/2 tasse beurre non salé
100 g 1/2 tasse sucre
110 g 1/2 tasse dark brown sugar
1 1 œuf
1 cuillère à café 1 cuillère à café extrait de vanille
190 g 1 1/2 tasse farine
1/2 cuillère à café 1/2 cuillère à café bicarbonate de soude
1/2 cuillère à café 1/2 cuillère à café sel
170 g 1 tasse semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
Vanilla ice cream, for serving (optional)
Equipement
cast iron skillet- Mixing Bowl
- silicone spatula
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly grease your cast iron skillet with butter or a light coating of cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Stir until well incorporated and slightly thickened.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and whisk until smooth and glossy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until no flour streaks remain. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a small handful for topping.
- Transfer the cookie dough to the prepared skillet, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top of the dough.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until the edges are golden brown and crispy, but the center is still soft. The center will appear slightly underbaked, this is perfect for a pizookie.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes.
- Serve warm, directly from the skillet, with scoops of vanilla ice cream on top if desired.
Notes
- The cast iron skillet creates the best texture contrast between crispy edges and gooey center. If you don’t have one, any oven-safe skillet or even a 9-inch cake pan will work.
