Cast Iron Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

I like to use a 12 inch cast-iron cast iron skillet pan that is oven-safe because it’s just the right size. This makes a giant cookie that could literally be a pizza cookie – or as I like to call it,  my Saturday night treat.

The kids are always begging me to cook up this cast iron chocolate chip cookie cake. I have to admit that I’m never upset when they do because I crave it just as much as they do.

How to Make a Mini Cast Iron Skillet Cookie

Whatever you cut this in half to make it right for just 2-3 of you or larger, just make sure that you stir in the chocolate chips well so that they’re dispersed evenly throughout. Having a large bowl is vital so that the egg and vanilla mixture, along with the granulated sugar, fit and don’t spill over.

Let’s talk about toppings. As I mentioned earlier, you can change up the toppings easily. I love the idea of topping with caramel and sea salt or even adding some frosting on top as well. You can follow our Bisquick chocolate chip cookiesrecipe and just use that batter for a faster method.

Ingredients

• Brown sugar makes it sweet
• Sugar too
• Salted butter at room temperature
• Egg added at room temperature
• Heavy cream
• Vanilla extract
• 2 c all purpose flour is the base to the dry ingredients
• Baking soda and salt
• Milk chocolate or semi sweet chocolate chips or peanut butter chips

The kids tend to think that each slice of this cast iron pan skillet cookie should be decorated as they want it. Some days we do just that for fun! You can slice the cookie into “pizza slices” and have the kids decorate their own slice.

How Long to Bake a Pizookie in Oven

A pizookie is basically the combination of two words: pizza and cookie, and it’s made pretty much that way, too.  I use our skillet as a type of “deep dish” cooking for the cookie dough. The kids get a kick out of the name and love the taste and flavor. You just bake for 45 minutes or so (slightly underbaked is best)

The kids love having this dessert to share with their friends, and I love that they love sharing it.  I just have to remember to preheat the oven to 325 degrees about 25 minutes ahead of when they’re supposed to arrive so that it’s almost done and ready for them to nosh on when they walk in the door.

I’ve served this so many fun ways, too! You can put it into a pizza box and watch their shocked faces as they open it and see a cookie inside instead of a pizza.  Or you can have this ready and waiting for them when they get home from school, too. Want a few other fun treats? You can make our Crockpot chocolate candy bites or brownie crinkle cookies served warm too.

In the oven 13×9″ would be typical. You can bake a cookie in a cast iron skillet though if you want! We will show you how to do just that. It is sometimes called a pizookie and a fun way to serve it with ice cream on top.

Yes! You can use refrigerated cookie dough or homemade chocolate chip cookie dough in a frying pan instead of a 13×9″ flat version if you like. We will show you the temperature and bake time here.

How to save leftover cookies

The best way to do this is to use freezer bags and suck all the air out every time you take one out. You can also add a small half slice of bread into the baggie too. The moisture in the piece will keep your baked goods nice and moist for days. Most times you’ll only get 1 good day out of them. This way you’re fine at day 3 for the most part. I like freezer vs. sandwich bags because the walls are thicker to keep air out too.
