Brown Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Cookie Skillet
Cozy up this season with a Brown Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Cookie Skillet—the ultimate treat for holiday baking and movie nights alike. Inspired by my mom’s famous oatmeal cookie recipes, this warm, gooey dessert brings together nostalgic flavors and modern comfort in every bite!
Ingredients you’ll need:
- madagascan vanilla gelato
- unsalted butter
- all purpose flour
- oatmeal
- cornstarch
- baking soda
- fine sea salt
- eggs
- granulated cane sugar
- light brown sugar
- vanilla extract
- cold water
- milk chocolate
How do I know when a cookie skillet is done baking?
The edges should be golden brown, and the center should look slightly underbaked—it will continue to set as it cools.
What kind of skillet is best for baking a cookie skillet?
Cast iron skillets with some enamel coating inside are ideal because they heat evenly and create perfectly crisp edges with a soft, gooey center.
Bake with me!
Brown Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Cookie Skillet
Ingredients
- Talenti Madagascan Vanilla Gelato for serving
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter
- 2 cups All Purpose Flour
- 1 cup Oatmeal
- 1 tsp. Cornstarch
- ¾ tsp. Baking Soda
- ½ tsp. Fine Sea Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Granulated Cane Sugar
- ½ cup Light Brown Sugar
- 2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
- 2 tbsp. Cold Water
- 6-8 oz. Milk Chocolate chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 9-10” nonstick skillet.
- In a large saucepan over medium high heat, add the butter. Stir until melted, then reduce heat to Medium to continue stirring until butter has browned, about 3-4 minutes. The butter will have brown specks at the bottom and smell nutty. Remove from heat and pour into a heat-safe bowl to cool in the fridge or freezer for 10-15 minutes.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the cooled browned butter, granulated cane sugar, and light brown sugar. Beat 1 minute.
- Add the eggs, vanilla, and water. Beat until silky ribbons, about 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in the baking soda, cornstarch, and salt until well-combined.
- Fold in the flour and oatmeal.
- Add the chopped chocolates and mix until incorporated.
- Transfer the cookie dough to the skillet.
- Bake for 18-24 minutes, until centers are just set and edges are beginning to turn golden.
- Let cool on the pan 10 minutes before topping off with Talenti Madagascar Vanilla Gelato to enjoy!

Just finished making the skillet cookie and noticed that corn starch is listed in the ingredients but not in the instructions. I left it out but wondering when I should have added it?
Hi Gail! Sorry for any confusion! You’d add it with the baking soda, but it won’t make or break the recipe 😉 Hope you enjoy!!
When you say oatmeal, do you mean quick oats or old fashioned rolled oats? Excited to try this recipe!
Either works fine! 🙂
This was absolutely delicious! I cooked an entire meal for my family and made this for dessert and it was such a hit!! I love all your recipes, already printed some for Thanksgiving LOL. I want to say I wish you all the success and blessings, you are AWESOME!! God Bless <3
Thank you, Alexa!! It really means the world to hear this!!!
Is it possible to reheat this? If I was to make it earlier in the day and then serve later? Very excited to make this receipe!
Hi Francesca! I would recommend the following:
1. Preheat oven to 300–325°F
2. Cover the skillet loosely with foil
3. Heat for 8–12 minutes (longer if very thick)
4. Uncover for the last 1–2 minutes if you want the edges crisp again
Tip: If it seems dry, add a teaspoon of milk or cream to the skillet before covering!
Literally the BEST cookie recipe! In the kitchen for the first time postpartum and ran to make this! Thank you for making your recipes so colorful i love your content.
AWE YAY!! I’m so happy you loved and also congrats!!!!
