How to Make a Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake
This dessert isn’t for those who want to half step in the cookie department. This is about having one of those desserts that completely satisfies every cookie craving and addiction inside of you with one single bite.
To create the recipe, I started with my favorite chewy chocolate chip cookie recipe. I piled the dough into my cast iron skillet and baked it until just barely cooked. I prefer my cookie underdone but if you want a crispier cookie, you can certainly bake it longer.
I didn’t let it cool long, added ice cream and dug right in. In fact, this baby didn’t last long at all.

This cookie makes me want to get in the kitchen and make a big ole skillet cookie despite all the baking I’ve already done! I have yet to make a skillet cookie and you better believe it’s going to happen soon! 🙂
Hahaha girl get that going right away!
Looks absolutely delicious! I need to use butterscotch chips more often, I tend to forget about them (gasp!). 🙂
Yes they are so freaking good!
Now that’s a fine looking giant cookie. I’m ashamed to say I could probably eat the whole thing!
Same here. All I feel is shame now.
I’ll take my cookie underbaked, please! I ‘ll also take the entire skillet all to myself. This is where I get in trouble. With cookies, I have portion control… with a skillet cookie my portion control is the whole cookie!! OMGeee this is making me melt! The ice cream is a must! Love this Jocelyn! (ps: love the cornstarch in there!)
Yeah same here. One skillet says to me “MINE”.
Ohmygawd! I need this cookie…with lots of chocolates. Heavenly!
YES!
Oh my gosh- my mouth salivated just reading about this!

Oh. My. This looks heavenly. I love big skillets of love like this! And I happen to have a new skillet that needs to be broken in…..
Well this is the best way to break it in girlfriend.
I LOVE a giant cookie, never ever will turn one down! I mean, regular cookies are great and all, but give this loaded one, STAT!
Yep I think we are from the same planet Abby!
