For all you chocolate chip cookie lovers, you’ll fall in love with this skillet chocolate chip cookie recipe! Psst - it’s also packed with protein, giving you more reason to love this easy and delicious recipe!

I love chocolate chip cookies. The excitement you’re making the dough and scooping it out onto a baking tray just doesn’t compare to any other dessert! I also love watching the cookies bake in the oven, and the lovely aroma that spreads throughout the kitchen. When they’re done cooking, you really don’t want to let them cool down because they just look so decadent! My personal preference is soft chocolate chip cookies. I can’t get over molten chocolate chips and the soft cookie. What about you - chewy or soft chocolate chip cookies? Let me know in the comments!

Why Make Skillet Protein Chocolate Chip Cookie

There’s no reason why you shouldn’t make this recipe! Check out all the reasons I love making this skillet cookie!

Easy clean-up: You just need to throw all your ingredients in a mixing bowl and then transfer the cookie dough to your baking pan. If you don’t have a cast iron skillet, you can use any oven-safe skillet. However, you won’t get the crispiness that comes from a cast iron pan.
You dig right in: As soon as it’s out of the oven, just add some whipped cream and grab a spoon! As I said earlier, it’s really hard for me to wait for the cookies to cool, so we’ll just dig right in!
Molten chocolate chunks: This is so gooey and the chocolate chunks become absolutely incredible. That’s what I love about a cookie!
Healthy ingredients: This is a diet-friendly recipe! We’re making the dough with pumpkin puree, which is high in fibre and Vitamin C. We’ve also got protein powder for an extra boost of protein. If you’re eating this before bed, you won’t go to bed hungry! You’ll feel nice and satiated thanks to the protein powder.
Fast to make: It’s ultra easy to make the batter and cook this. You can have this for dessert at any time. No need to take lots of time out of your day to have a decadent treat!
Roasted marshmallows: What really took this up a notch for me was the roasted marshmallows! This totally transforms it from your average skillet cookie. I love watching the marshmallows get roasted as the cookie bakes, and those marshmallows seriously add to the gooeyness of the cookie!

How to Make A Skillet Protein Chocolate Chip Cookie

This recipe is almost effortless! Here are the steps you need to follow:

Make your dough. Combine all ingredients except for your toppings in a large mixing bowl. Whisk well until you have a smooth dough.
Transfer dough to your cast iron skillet. Using a spatula, pour your cookie dough into your pan. You can also use a regular, oven-safe skillet if you don’t have a cast iron pan.
Add your toppings. Add the chocolate chunks and marshmallows on top. The marshmallows will roast in the oven.
Bake at 350 F. This will take 8-12 minutes, depending on how gooey you want your cookie.
Finish with whipped cream. Use any whipped cream of your choice to bring this skillet cookie all together, or make your own by following my recipe on How to Make the Best Whipped Cream at Home.

Switch it Up!Top with your favourite ice cream instead of whipped cream after the cookie has finished baking.
Use a mix of chocolate chips and/or chocolate chunks. I have so much fun exploring different types of chocolate chips. Feel free to try white chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, or a combination of them all!
Add chocolate chips in the cookie dough and on top for supreme chocolateyness!
Top with sliced strawberries and/or bananas and a drizzle of chocolate syrup.
Use a larger cast-iron skillet to make this a family-sized dessert - the cook time will increase.
