Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (60g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 3 tbsp (40g) granulated sugar
  • 3 tbsp (40g) packed brown sugar
  • 3 tbsp (42g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 large egg yolk, room temperature
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ⅛ tsp baking soda
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup (45g) chocolate chips or chunks, semi-sweet or milk chocolate
  • 2 scoops vanilla ice cream
  • Optional: chopped nuts, caramel drizzle, or a sprinkle of flaky sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place your mini cast iron skillet on a baking sheet to catch any drips.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together ½ cup (60g) all-purpose flour, 3 tbsp (40g) granulated sugar, 3 tbsp (40g) packed brown sugar, ⅛ tsp baking soda, and ⅛ tsp salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the 3 tbsp (42g) melted butter, 1 large egg yolk, and ½ tsp vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry and gently fold using a spatula until just combined — don’t overmix.
  5. Stir in ¼ cup (45g) chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Spoon the batter into the preheated mini cast iron skillet, smoothing the top. Fill the skillet about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden brown and center looks set but still soft.
  8. Let the cookie cool in the skillet for about 5 minutes.
  9. Top with two generous scoops of vanilla ice cream. Optionally sprinkle chopped nuts or drizzle caramel sauce.

Notes

Preheat the skillet before adding batter to get crispy edges. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the cookie soft. Watch baking time closely to avoid burning. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and use dairy-free ice cream. Gluten-free flour blend can replace all-purpose flour for gluten-free version. Refrigerate batter up to 24 hours before baking for convenience.
