Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 large skillet cookie
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the skillet cookie will bake evenly.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add the large egg and vanilla extract to the sugar and butter mixture. Whisk until fully incorporated and the mixture is light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking soda, and salt. Stir until the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and shredded coconut until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Grease a cast-iron skillet or an oven-safe skillet with a bit of butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Pour the cookie dough into the prepared skillet, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.
- Once baked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the cookie cool in the skillet for about 10 minutes. This will allow it to firm up slightly.
- Serve warm, either directly from the skillet or by slicing it into wedges. Enjoy your Coconut Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie with a scoop of ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce, if desired!
Tips
- • For the most incredible texture, use room temperature ingredients, especially the egg, to ensure smooth mixing. • Don't overmix the dough—stop stirring as soon as the ingredients are just combined to keep the cookie tender. • Use a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet for the best crispy edges and even heat distribution. • Let the skillet cookie cool for 10 minutes before serving to allow it to set properly. • For extra indulgence, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce. • Store any leftovers (if there are any!) in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. • For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend.
