Bake a rich, chewy, deep-dish chocolate chip cookie right in your cast iron pan using tahini for a unique flavor and texture. This one pan dessert is simple to make and impressive to serve warm.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup creamy tahini
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the tahini until fully combined. Mix in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips and any optional nuts.
  7. Press the cookie dough evenly into the prepared cast iron skillet.
  8. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the edges are set and golden brown, but the center still looks slightly underbaked and gooey.
  9. Remove from the oven and let the skillet cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving warm.

Notes

  • For an extra gooey center cookie, reduce the baking time by 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Serve this warm chocolate chip skillet dessert directly from the pan for the best presentation.
  • You can substitute the tahini with an equal amount of peanut butter for a nut butter skillet cookie alternative, though the flavor profile will change.
