How to Make from Scratch Cookie

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your skillet with butter or non-stick spray.
2. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy. Mix in vanilla extract and eggs. Slowly mix flour, baking soda, and salt until combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
3. Spread the Dough: Evenly spread the cookie dough into your prepared skillet.
4. Bake: Bake for 20–25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown, but the center remains gooey.
5. Add Salt: Sprinkle with sea salt once out of the oven, and let it cool for 5–10 minutes.

When to Flip Cookie

No flipping is required in this skillet cookie recipe! It’s baked directly in the skillet for that perfect crispy exterior and soft, gooey center.

How to Reheat Cookie

To reheat, place the skillet in a 300°F (150°C) oven for 5–10 minutes, or microwave individual portions for 20–30 seconds. This will bring back that warm, gooey texture.

Can You Save the Batter Cookie?

Yes! You can make the cookie dough ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 3 days. When ready to bake, let the dough sit at room temperature for 15–20 minutes before pressing it into the skillet.

Can You Freeze It Cookie?

Absolutely! Freeze the baked cookie or unbaked dough. For the baked version, wrap the cookie tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the freezer for up to 3 months. To enjoy, thaw at room temperature and reheat as described above. For unbaked dough, freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months, then thaw and bake as directed.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
