Step 4: Let it Cool (or Don’t!)
Once the cookie is done, remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. If you prefer your cookie extra gooey, you can serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for the ultimate indulgence.
If you’re not adding ice cream, allow the cookie to cool slightly before slicing it into wedges or digging in with a spoon. The warm, gooey chocolate chips paired with the slightly crispy edges make every bite irresistible.
Tips for the Perfect Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie
- Don’t Overmix the Dough: Overmixing can result in a dense cookie, so be sure to mix the dough until just combined.
- Use Room Temperature Butter: Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother texture.
- Add Extra Chocolate: For an even more indulgent treat, you can add a handful of extra chocolate chips on top of the dough before baking. As the cookie bakes, the chips will melt and create pockets of extra gooey chocolate.
- Top with Ice Cream: For the ultimate indulgence, serve your chocolate chip skillet cookie with a scoop of ice cream (or two!). Vanilla, chocolate, or even salted caramel ice cream will complement the warm, melty cookie perfectly.
- Customize the Flavor: You can personalize your skillet cookie by adding mix-ins like caramel bits, chopped candy bars, or even mini marshmallows. Get creative!
Serving Suggestions
- For a Fun Dessert Night: Serve the cookie in the skillet and let everyone dig in with spoons for a fun, family-style dessert experience.
- For Special Occasions: Top the warm cookie with a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce and a dusting of powdered sugar for an elegant touch.
- For a Casual Treat: Just slice it up and serve with a cold glass of milk for the ultimate comfort food experience.
