Skillet Cookie is a warm, gooey chocolate chip cookie baked in a cast iron skillet, then loaded with ice cream, hot fudge, and all your favorite toppings. Ready in 30 minutes!
Skillet cookies are a popular dessert choice for many restaurants, offering a warm and gooey chocolate chip cookie paired with ice cream and toppings. This Skillet Cookie recipe, also known as a pizookie or cookie sundae, brings that restaurant-style dessert experience to your home with ease.
A classic chocolate chip cookie dough is pressed into a cast iron skillet and baked until the edges are golden and the center is soft and slightly underbaked. It’s then topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and your choice of toppings.
This recipe is versatile and forgiving. You can use the homemade cookie dough provided or opt for store-bought dough. Bake it in a large skillet to share or divide it into individual mini skillets for a personalized dessert. The key is to remove it from the oven while the center is still slightly underbaked, ensuring a soft and gooey texture when served warm.
