This Triple Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie is chewy, gooey, and chocolatey – it’s the perfect combination of everything! Features dark, milk, and semi-sweet chocolates to make the perfect cookie to share with friends and family.
If you love the blend of a warm chocolate chip cookie topped with vanilla ice cream then this chocolate chip skillet cookie recipe will no doubt please your cravings.
This recipe is a twist on the traditional chocolate chip cookie and one that is also easy to make because we’ll be using a skillet.
Why you’ll love this recipe
- It’s crispy on the outside and very chewy on the inside. The cast-iron skillet will bake the cookie into a perfect melted chocolatey goodness.
- If you don’t have a cast-iron skillet at home, then you can use a regular oven-safe skillet. You just won’t have the same crispy outside that the iron skillet will produce.
- It’s so easy! All you have to do is bake one giant cookie on a baking sheet in the iron skillet, wait for 10 to 15 minutes to cool, then cut and serve.
How to make Cookies in a Skillet!
Chocolate chip cookies are amazing, aren’t they? If you’re a fan of delicious cookies, then you have to try my Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies as well as this S’mores Stuffed Chocolate Chip Skillet cookie too!
Few things in life are comparable to the taste of a sweet, chocolatey, and chewy chocolate chip cookie. However, have you ever made a chocolate chip cookie in a skillet? It’s basically like a cookie cake, but fudgy and gooey like a brownie on the inside with a crisp outer shell. If you’ve never tried this, I highly suggest giving this Triple Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie a try!
This recipe is super easy, and it may be one of the easiest recipes I featured on my blog. The best part about it is cutting into the cookie after it’s cooled and seeing the gooey melted chocolate. I’ve been holding onto this recipe for quite some time and I am so excited to release it for everyone to try!
Why is this called a Triple Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie? Well, it’s because I use three different types of chocolate to make this cookie one of the most memorable chocolate chip cookie recipes you’ll ever have. I used semi-sweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, and extra dark chocolate chips!

Okay, let’s get right into this. As you know, here at Britney Breaks Bread, I always like to discuss how to cook/bake the recipe. I started by preheating the oven to 375 degrees F.
Typically I would preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, but I wanted the outer shell of the cookie to have a nice crunch. So, I upped the heat a little. Believe it or not, 25 degrees make a big difference.
In a stand mixer, I beat two sticks of room temperature butter for about 3-5 minutes. This step is key because we want the butter to be as fluffy as possible. How do we do that? Beating as much air into it as we can!
Then, I add both brown sugar and granulated sugar and allow it to continue to mix for another 2-3 minutes. (I’m extra, I know. But it makes a difference!)
After that, I add the eggs one at a time and then the vanilla extract. Allow that to mix in and stop.
In a large mixing bowl, I mix the dry ingredients – all-purpose flour, corn starch, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Whisk all of that together and add to the wet ingredients in the stand mixer.
MAJOR KEY! Do not overmix. When you over mix the flour, gluten begins to develop and would make the cookie dough balls. (The same applies to cake batter too, FYI).
I only mix this for about 15 seconds. I use a wooden spatula as opposed to the paddle attachment to prevent the gluten from developing.
After that, all you have to do is add in the chocolate chips (all three kinds) and bake in the oven for around 30 minutes. Then you’re done! The second key – if you have the patience to place it in a wire rack to cool completely, it’s SO worth it. The chocolate chip cookie dough will stay melted even when it’s cooled off a bit.

Britney, I’ve been looking for a good skillet cookie recipe for a while now!! I loved the trio of chocolate chips. Your recipes never disappoint!!
I agree Crystal. I think every kitchen should have a cast iron skillet. They are very versatile and create a nice even crust on foods. Eventhough i am not a big fan of chocalate, anything sweet is my delight. Love the simplicity of the recipe.
LISTEN!!!!!!!!!! This was soooo good!!! It came out perfectly crispy on the edges and perfectly soft inside – I loved it!!!!!!!!!
Yay!!! I’m so happy to hear this! Thank you!
While browsing a disappointing dessert selection during our dinner date, I was glad to remember I had this beauty waiting for us at home. Glad I taught the littles to share!
Absolutely scrumptious! I made this and will be making it again!!! So soft, so chewy, so chocolatey.
I made this last weekend and followed your instructions on allowing it to cool for a while and it came out perfect! This is my new guilty pleasure.
Many thanks for sharing this recipe. I tried this for my birthday and loved the texture of these cookies. They were a total success.
Happy Birthday!
This recipe came out perfect for me. I love a little gooeyness in a skillet cookie and the 3 chocolates is brilliant. DELICIOUS.
So happy to hear that! That gooey texture is everything!
I made this tonight the corners were great the middle was totally undercooked. Not sure I’ll be making this again. Total bummer!
Hi Carol! Sorry to hear that this didn’t work out for you. Everyone’s oven is calibrated a bit differently. If you decide to try it again, I’d recommend leaving the cookie in the oven for an additional 5 minutes and allowing it to cool for at least 30 minutes so that it can set properly and not be undercooked. I hope that this is helpful!
Yum, just made this! It was a little more gooey than I expected but tasted great. How long does it normally take to completely cool?
Glad that you enjoyed the recipe, I typically allow about 30 minutes to cool!
What size skillet do you use?
Hi! I used a 10 inch skillet.
