Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg + 1 yolk (beaten)
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Add-ins
- 1 cup chocolate chips & chunks
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the cookie skillet.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using a hand mixer or wooden spoon until blended smoothly. Add pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and beaten eggs, mixing well until fully incorporated.
- Add dry ingredients: Gradually add the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and kosher salt to the wet mixture. Mix gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.
- Fold in chocolate: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chunks using a spoon or spatula, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Transfer to skillet: Spoon the dough into a 9-inch cast iron skillet. Spread it evenly to fill the skillet surface. Optionally sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top for an attractive finish.
- Bake: Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the edges are puffed and golden and the center is set but still soft.
- Cool and serve: Remove the skillet from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. Slice into wedges and serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent treat.
