What if I don't own a cast iron skillet?

If you don't have a cast iron, you could also use a 9 inch pie pan. Although, cast irons are fairly inexpensive and after making this recipe, you'll want to make it again and again!

Can I make a no nuts version with a different chocolate spread?

Feel free to substitute with your favorite brand as long as it has a similar texture to Nutella and behaves the same way when it is melted. I really love chocolate SunButter as a good nut free option! Also be sure that your chocolate chips are nut free too if you're on the lookout for allergens.

How do you store a skillet cookie?

Skillet cookies are one of those desserts that's best eaten on the spot, but if you have leftovers make sure it's completely cooled and well covered. Store in the refrigerator where it will keep for a couple days!

How do you reheat a skillet cookie?

The beauty of a skillet dessert is that it's already in the container needed to heat it up! Preheat the oven to 300F and warm it up for about 5-8 minutes.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F and coat a cast iron skillet with light layer of nonstick spray.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together the butter and sugars using a hand or stand mixer with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
Scrape down the bowl and mix in the vanilla and eggs.
Slowly mix in the dry ingredients. The dough will get pretty thick.
Switch to a rubber spatula and fold in 1 1/4 cups of the chocolate chips by hand.
Press half of the cookie dough into the bottom of the cast iron skillet. If it’s sticking to your hands, spray your fingers with some nonstick spray.
Spread the Nutella over top, leaving a 1/2 inch gap around the edge.
Take large chunks of the cookie dough and gently flatten them with your hands. Lay them on top of the Nutella layer then press the seems together to create a smooth top.
Sprinkle on the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips.
Bake for 25-30 minutes for a more gooey cookie and 30-38 for a more well-done cookie. I baked mine for about 28 minutes.
If you’d like to just dig in with your spoon, enjoy when it’s warm from the oven. For a cookie you can slice into like a pie, let it cool to room temperature.
