Ken's Cast Iron Kitchen: Chocolatey Chip Cake Cookie
Contributed by Ken Hagler
Get ready for this cast iron cookie, that is simple, quick and requires just 5 ingredients. It is bursting with melty chips and comes together in a flash. No fancy special skillets you can only use once, a simple 8” skillet is all you need!
Ingredients:
-½ box yellow cake mix
-¼ cup chocolate chips (feel free to go wild and add more!)
-1 egg (or your favorite egg alternative)
-¼ cup vegetable oil
-1 teaspoon brown sugar (optional, for extra depth of flavor)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Take your skillet and drizzle in a little vegetable oil and swirl it around to coat the bottom.
Mix it up: In a large bowl, whisk together the dry cake mix and chocolate chips. In a separate bowl, beat together the egg, oil, and brown sugar (if using) until combined.
Wet meets dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Then pour it in the skillet.
Bake to melty perfection: Pop your skillet in the oven at 375°F and bake for 12 minutes, or until a nice golden brown.
Rest and devour: Let the cookie cool for a few minutes in the skillet before digging in. Slice into “pie” slivers and if you got ice cream, add it to the dessert…boom!
Tips from Ken:
Make it large: Use the whole box and double the other ingredients and use a 12” skillet.
Egg Alternative! Save your eggs! Use 1 ½ tbsp of vegetable oil, 1 ½ tbsp of water, and 1 tsp of baking powder for each egg needed when baking.
