Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons butter (softened)
- ½ cup sugar
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1½ tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- ⅔ cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Skillet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet thoroughly to ensure the cookie doesn’t stick during baking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 1 to 2 minutes. Then, beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined. Stir in the red food coloring evenly to get that classic red velvet hue.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt making sure all the dry ingredients are evenly combined to avoid lumps.
- Incorporate Dry with Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined and no streaks remain. Gently fold in the white chocolate chips to distribute them through the dough.
- Press Dough and Bake: Press the cookie dough evenly into the bottom of your prepared skillet. Place in the oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until the cookie is set but still soft in the center.
- Cool and Serve: Let the skillet cookie cool for a few minutes after baking. Serve warm, optionally topped with your favorite ice cream and hot fudge for an irresistible dessert.
