The best Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie recipe is easy to make in 20 minutes! This ooey gooey skillet cookie (Pizookie) is better than any restaurant version, best served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream & drizzle of chocolate sauce!
Lightly grease a 10” cast iron skillet. Set aside.
Cream together butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar in the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large mixing bowl with a hand-held mixer.
Add egg, milk and vanilla and beat until combined.
Add flour, sea salt, baking soda and baking powder. Beat, starting on low speed and increasing to high as the dry ingredients get incorporated. Beat until a slightly sticky dough forms.
Add chocolate chips and stir in by hand.
Pour batter into the prepared cast iron skillet.
Use a greased spatula to evenly spread out the cookie dough in the skillet.
Sprinkle a handful of extra chocolate chips on top (if desired).
Bake for 15 minutes, or until the sides are just browning/set and the middle is still slightly jiggly. Please do not over-bake. Remember the skillet cookie will continue to bake after it is removed from the oven.
Let cool 5-10 minutes.
Serve warm with ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate sauce!

Notes
Pizookie Ingredients & Substitutions
Salted Butter. unsalted butter, coconut oil and ghee are all good substitutes.
Granulated Sugar. use white sugar or organic cane sugar.
Light Brown sugar. dark brown sugar works well, it just imparts a stronger molasses taste.
All-purpose Flour. Use all-purpose gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option.
Chocolate Chips. You can use chocolate chunks, chopped chocolate, or chocolate chips. It doesn’t matter what you use, as long as you use 1 cup. Let your imagination run wild and add some chopped candy (peanut butter cups, M&Ms, etc.) or flavored chocolate bars.
Milk. heavy cream or half and half are good substitutes. Or use coconut milk.
Store/FreezeLet the pizookie cool and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days, or in the freezer for up to two months. If freezing for a while you might want to individually wrap portions in plastic wrap to keep them fresh.
