  • Author: Isabel
  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 8-10 servings 1x

Description

This easy pumpkin chocolate skillet cookie is ready in 20 minutes. One pan, minimal cleanup, and the perfect cozy fall treat for busy weeknights.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • ½ tsp Baking Soda
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • ½ cup Unsalted Butter, melted
  • ½ cup Granulated Sugar
  • ½ cup Brown Sugar, packed
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • ½ cup Pumpkin Puree
  • 1 ½ cups Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch skillet or baking pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl or measuring cup, mix the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, vanilla, and pumpkin puree until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a small handful to sprinkle on top later.
  6. Spread the dough evenly into the prepared pan to about ½ inch thick. Sprinkle reserved chocolate chips on top.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes until edges are set and lightly golden, but the center still looks slightly soft.
  8. Let cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before slicing or serving.

Notes

Do not overbake the cookie; it will firm up as it cools. Use 100% pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. For a gluten-free version, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. For a dairy-free version, swap butter for dairy-free alternative and use dairy-free chocolate chips.
