Description

This soft and chewy einkorn chocolate chip skillet cookie is delicious and given an extra boost of nutrients thanks to einkorn flour. With crisp edges and a chewy center, it is best served warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

Scale

2 1/2 cups all purpose einkorn flour
1 1/2 sticks softened butter

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together 1 1/2 sticks softened butter, 1/2 cup white sugar, and 3/4 cup brown sugar until fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl if needed.
With the mixer on medium low speed, start adding in the wet ingredients by adding in 2 eggs and 2 tsp vanilla extract, mixing until just combined. For the dry ingredients, you will add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 2 1/2 cups all purpose einkorn flour. Mix well, and then add in 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips.
Spread the cookie dough into a well seasoned cast iron skillet, spreading evenly. The mixture will be slightly sticky; you can wet your hands slightly to press it to the edges of the skillet if needed.
Bake in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until just lightly golden brown on the top. It is okay to slightly underbake the cookie (and I usually prefer it that way) because the residual heat from the skillet will continue baking the cookie for a few minutes after it is pulled from the oven.
Serve warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. Divine!

Notes

If you don't own a stand mixer, no problem! Just add the ingredients to a large mixing bowl and stir together using a hand mixer or wooden spoon.

Make sure your cast iron skillet is well seasoned. This will ensure the cookie doesn't stick to the pan.

If you don't own a cast iron skillet, no problem! This dough can be baked in a regular oven safe baking dish. You just may have to vary the baking time depending on the size of your baking dish.

I bake this einkorn skillet cookie in my 12" cast iron skillet, but 10" would work just fine too! I have also baked it in smaller cast iron skillets (8" or smaller) for mini skillet cookies, which is also delicious and fun.

Have fun with variations! You could swap out the chocolate chips for toffee bits, white or dark chocolate chips, milk chocolate, chopped pecans… whatever strikes your fancy!
