Whiskey Chocolate Chip Cookie Skillet - featured image

A cozy, indulgent dessert featuring a rich chocolate chip cookie dough with a subtle warmth from whiskey, baked in a cast iron skillet for crispy edges and a gooey center.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons whiskey (bourbon recommended)
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cream the butter and sugars in a large bowl using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs, vanilla, and whiskey one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed just until combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula, ensuring even distribution.
  7. Transfer the dough to a greased 8-inch cast iron skillet and spread evenly to fill about halfway.
  8. Bake for 22-26 minutes until edges are golden and crisp but the center remains soft and gooey.
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes to firm up the center.
  10. Serve warm straight from the skillet, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce.

Notes

Use softened butter for easier mixing. Watch the cookie closely after 20 minutes to avoid overbaking. Resting after baking is important to let the center set. For crispy edges, use a cast iron skillet or preheat your pan if using another oven-safe dish. Variations include adding nuts, spices, or using dairy-free and gluten-free substitutes.
