How To Make a Skillet Cookie
What makes this loaded cookie so unbelievable?
First we start off with browning the butter in the skillet. This brings on a warm and nutty flavor that is simply irresistible.
Since we’re making this in just ONE SKILLET, after we brown the butter you’ll want to remove the skillet from the heat and then stir in a few more tablespoons of butter to cool the mixture down.
Then you’ll add in the sugars, a little vanilla, salt and the eggs.
Here’s the trick – you’ll stir the mixture for about 20 seconds, rest for 30 seconds, and then repeat that process 2 more times. The mixture will become thick and shiny as the butter and sugars mix together.
Add in the flour and baking soda RIGHT TO THE SKILLET, and mix until no more flour clumps remain.
Here’s the fun part – adding in all the goodies!
I used mini chocolate chips, white chocolate chips and a slew of mini M&M’s for my cookie. You can add in nuts or other candy pieces if desired. Make it your own fun cookie creation!
How Long To Bake Skillet Cookies?
Once your cookie dough is ready just pop it into the oven and let it bake.
It only takes about 20 minutes at 375 degrees F. till this GIANT cookie is ready to devour.
How To Serve a Cookie Cake
The best way to eat a giant cookie, you ask?
Warm with vanilla ice cream on top, of course!
You may also let the cookie cool, then slice into wedges and serve.
I scooped the vanilla ice cream right on top of the WARM cookie, then drizzled some hot fudge and caramel over the top.
If you’re serving with friends and family and you don’t mind getting in there, go ahead and just dig in with spoons! It’s a party.
Concerned about germs and what not- slice the cookie into triangles and top each slice with a scoop of ice cream.
This cookie is like dreams come true. It will become your new favorite!

Do you use a 10” or 12” skillet? I see that it works with both but wondering how thin it is in a 12”.
For this recipe I used a 12″ and it’s probably about 1/2″ thick in the middle. Hope that helps!
I’m adding some coconut.
2 tbsp or 2 tsp of vanilla? 2 tbsp seems like a lot. Just checking. Thanks!
It should be 2 tsp of vanilla. 🙂
And there is not a temp for cooking this dessert either. Isnt 12 tbsp of butter alot>
I love how simple you have made this cookie pie. Less dishes is awesome for me as we don’t have a dishwasher in my house!
Need to let cool completely or you’ll end up with scrambled eggs
Putting the cold butter in after you’ve browned the other butter will help to cool the pan down a bit.
Looks soooo good! Can I use a stainless steel pan? My cast iron skillet is too small, I think.
As long as your pan is oven safe, you should be good!
I just made this!! It was wonderful. It’s now the birthday picks of all of us!!
Awesome! So glad you enjoyed it Donna! 🙂
Happy Birthday Shawn – hope it is the best yet (with THAT cake how could it not be?) and many, many more to come. xx
Hi Janelise! Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! 🙂
If I wanted to make this is a smaller cast iron skillet (cornbread size, for two people) could I just half the recipe or do you think it wouldn’t turn out quite right?
I think it might be best if you just make the fully recipe, but half the dough before baking. You can freeze the remaining dough and bake it later!
