Mini Skillet Cookie (Easy Cast Iron Skillet Cookie Recipe)
This mini skillet cookie is a warm, gooey, dairy-free dessert baked in a cast iron skillet. If you’re looking for a simple skillet cookie recipe or a go-to chocolate chip cookie recipe, this is one of the easiest ways to make them. It’s quick, straightforward, and perfect for serving straight from the skillet.

Why This Skillet Cookie Recipe Works
A good skillet cookie recipe should have crisp edges and a soft center. Baking the dough in a cast iron skillet helps retain heat and gives you that perfect texture every time.
This recipe follows my classic chocolate chip cookie base, so if you’d prefer a batch of gooey cookies use this base.



Small Batch Chocolate Chip Cookies in Skillet Form
If you’re looking for small batch chocolate chip cookies, this is a great option. Instead of baking a full tray, you get one cookie that’s warm and ready to serve.
It’s also an easy way to make dairy free cookies using vegan butter while still keeping the same texture and flavor.
