Ingredients
Scale
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup caramel sauce
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease your skillet if it’s not well-seasoned.
- Combine Ingredients: In one bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. In another, cream the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg, vanilla, and pumpkin puree. Gradually add dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Make sure your skillet is clean and prepped with a light coating of oil or butter.
- Assemble the Dish: Spread the cookie dough evenly into the skillet. Drizzle caramel sauce over the top and gently swirl with a knife.
- Cook to Perfection: Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the edges are golden and the center is just set.
- Finishing Touches: Let the skillet cool for about 10 minutes on a wire rack before serving.
- Serve and Enjoy: Scoop directly from the skillet with spoons or serve slices topped with vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Do not overmix the dough to keep the texture soft and tender.
- Use room temperature butter for better creaming and consistency.
- Swirl the caramel only on the top layer for the best gooey texture.
- Slightly underbake to keep the center soft and melty.
- Top with flaky sea salt for a sweet and salty finish.
