Add-ins For Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie

This dessert is great as it is, but you can add a few extras to take the cookie up a notch.

• Nuts. Stir in walnut, almond, or pecan pieces for a little crunch.
• Different chocolate chips. Add a mix of white and dark chocolate to the cookie.
• Caramel pieces.

What Size Skillet To Use For This Recipe

For this recipe, we use a 12-inch cast-iron skillet. Our skillet is old and well-seasoned, a must for any cast-iron pan.

We don’t oil or butter the pan because it doesn’t need it if the pan is seasoned.

If your pan is smaller, the recipe can be halved for a 6-8-inch pan.

Baking A Skillet Cookie

Our favourite way to bake this skillet cookie is in the smoker using mellow wood smoke. Normally, we use a competition blend, but we have also used cherry and apple, which add a different flavour profile to the cookie.

This skillet cookie can also be baked in the oven using the same method as the smoker, but without the smoke.

Serving Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie

On its own or topped with ice cream, serve this cookie warm. Cut the cookie into triangles like a pie for serving.

This dessert is also best when it is still warm, so it’s soft, and the chocolate chips are melted.

Storing and Reheating Skillet Cookie

The cookie will harden as it cools, and the best way to serve leftovers is by reheating them. To reheat, place a slice in the microwave with a damp paper towel over the top and heat for 20-25 seconds or until warm.
