This Oatmeal Skillet Cookie is the perfect combination of chewy oats and melty chocolate chips. The butter, sugar, and eggs create a soft, tender texture that gives all the warm, fuzzy vibes without the complicated steps.
Combine butter, sugar, vanilla, and eggs in a bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until well mixed and creamy.
Add the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to the bowl. Mix using low speed or by hand.
Stir in oats and chocolate chips until mixed evenly in the dough.
Transfer to your skillet and press evenly in so that it reaches the edges and bottom evenly.
Bake 20-25 minutes.
Notes
Keep an eye on the cookie while it bakes. The edges should be golden and crispy, while the center may still look a little under baked—that’s when it’s perfect! The residual heat will finish the baking.
For the best texture, stick with old-fashioned rolled oats. They hold their shape during baking, giving you that hearty, chewy bite.
When spreading the cookie dough in the skillet, make sure it's evenly distributed. This ensures uniform baking, with crispy edges and a soft, chewy center.
