1.5 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend Shop
0.75 cup granulated sugar Shop
0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 tsp pure vanilla extract Shop
0.5 tsp salt
1 cup gluten-free chocolate chips Shop

Instructions

1 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9-inch oven-safe skillet with parchment paper, ensuring the paper extends slightly over the edges for easy removal. This preparation will prevent sticking and make serving a breeze.
2 In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes, until the mixture is light, fluffy, and pale yellow. Then, beat in the large eggs one at a time, followed by the pure vanilla extract, mixing until each addition is fully incorporated and the batter is smooth.
3 Gradually add the gluten-free all-purpose flour blend and salt to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed or by hand with a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The dough should be thick and slightly sticky.
4 Gently fold in the gluten-free chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough. Spread the dough evenly into the prepared skillet, pressing it down with the back of a spoon or spatula to create a uniform layer.
5 Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center appears set but still slightly soft. Gluten-free baked goods often firm up considerably as they cool, so avoid overbaking to maintain a chewy texture.

Tips & Notes

Take the skillet cookie out while the center still looks slightly underdone. The hot pan keeps cooking it.
Let it cool for 10 minutes before cutting so the center sets, then serve warm with ice cream labeled gluten-free.
Press a few extra chocolate chips into the top right after baking for a glossy finish.
