Decadent Salted Caramel Cookie Skillet Recipe

This cookie skillet features a soft, gooey center filled with salted caramel and melty chocolate chips, baked to perfection in a cast iron skillet. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and serves 4-6 people.

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup salted caramel sauce
• Flaky sea salt for topping

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
4. Prepare the Skillet: Grease a cast iron skillet with butter or non-stick spray. Press half of the cookie dough into the bottom of the skillet evenly.
5. Add Caramel: Drizzle half of the salted caramel sauce over the cookie dough layer. Top with the remaining cookie dough, spreading it evenly over the caramel.
6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is still slightly gooey.
7. Finish: Remove from the oven and drizzle the remaining salted caramel sauce on top. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
8. Serve: Allow to cool slightly before serving warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
