Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons butter (softened)
- ½ cup sugar
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup 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 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet to ensure the cookie doesn’t stick.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
- Add Egg, Vanilla, and Food Coloring: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until combined. Then stir in the red food coloring evenly for that signature red velvet hue.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening and flavor.
- Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients bowl, stirring until just combined to form the cookie dough.
- Fold in White Chocolate Chips: Gently stir in the white chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Press Dough Into Skillet: Transfer the cookie dough into the prepared cast iron skillet, pressing it evenly to fill the skillet base.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the cookie is set but still soft in the center.
- Cool and Serve: Let the skillet cookie cool for a few minutes before serving. For an indulgent treat, serve warm topped with vanilla ice cream and hot fudge if desired.
