Or you can make this traditional chocolate chip cookie recipe in a 3.5 inch skillet that’s made for sharing! Skillet desserts for two are a fun way to end a “date night at home” with your special someone.

Doesn’t that look amazing? And it’s the perfect size to enjoy a yummy dessert just for TWO.

The most important thing you need for baking this recipe is a cast iron skillet. You can use a traditional 12 inch cast iron pan or a 3.5 inch cast iron skillet. I’ve made this recipe using both sizes.

How to serve a cast iron skillet cookie

Slice the giant cookie using a sharp knife then top each slice with either homemade whipped cream or homemade vanilla ice cream. A drizzle of chocolate or caramel syrup is always a good idea!

Tips on Baking a Cast Iron Skillet Cookie

  • The 3.5 inch skillet itself held just under one cup of raw chocolate chip cookie dough.
  • Just be careful to not overfill the skillet. It could overflow in your oven as it cooks.
  • I did place the cast iron skillet on a baking tray lined with parchment paper to be safe.
  • Check out my post on How to Freeze Cookie Dough if you decide to bake this recipe using a smaller skillet.
  • You would use all the cookie dough in this recipe for a 12 inch cast iron skillet.

      You could give someone a skillet and add the dry ingredients for the cookies in a cute mason jar too! That’s a GREAT idea!!! Thanks for visiting Julie!
