Description

A warm, gooey chocolate chip skillet cookie—aka pizookie—baked in a cast‑iron skillet and served with ice cream.


Ingredients

  • ½ cup salted butter, softened
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 Tbsp whole milk, room temperature
  • 1¼ cups all‑purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp fine sea salt
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup chocolate chips, plus extra for topping


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C).
  2. Lightly grease a 10‑inch cast‑iron skillet.
  3. Cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy.
  4. Beat in egg, milk, and vanilla until fully combined.
  5. Mix in flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder until a slightly sticky dough forms.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips by hand.
  7. Spread dough evenly into the skillet and sprinkle extra chips on top.
  8. Bake for 15 minutes, until edges are set and center is still slightly jiggly.
  9. Let cool for 5–10 minutes, then serve warm with a scoop of ice cream.

Notes

  • Substitute unsalted butter, coconut oil, or ghee for butter.
  • Use dark brown sugar for a richer, deeper flavor.
  • For a gluten‑free version, swap in all‑purpose gluten‑free flour.
  • Try chocolate chunks, candy bits, or flavored chips instead of regular chips.
  • Replace milk with cream, half‑and‑half, or coconut milk for extra richness.
