How to Make a Strawberry Chocolate Chunk Skillet Cookie
Prep Work
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Grease your 10-inch cast iron skillet with a non-stick spray, ensuring it’s ready to hold all that cookie dough goodness.
Creamy Ingredients
3. In a large bowl, beat together the butter and brown sugar with a hand mixer on medium speed. Add the granulated sugar and continue beating until everything is well combined. This should take about 2 minutes.
4. Next, add in one large egg, beating well until it’s fully incorporated, followed by the vanilla extract. Keep the mixer on medium speed for a smooth, creamy texture.
Dry Ingredients
5. In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, old-fashioned rolled oats, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this flour mixture to the wet ingredients, beating on low speed to prevent over-mixing. Be sure to only mix until just combined — no need to overwork the dough!
6. Now, fold in the chopped strawberries and dark chocolate chunks with a rubber spatula, so that they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Time To Bake
7. Press the cookie dough into your prepared skillet, creating an even layer across the surface.
8. Sprinkle the top of the dough with the remaining 1 tablespoon of oats to give it a nice texture and a little crunch.
9. Bake your cookie in the oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Keep an eye on it as it bakes to avoid over-baking.
Done!
10. Once it’s out of the oven, let the skillet cookie cool for a few minutes. You can serve it warm with a generous drizzle of caramel or chocolate drizzle and a scoop of ice cream on top — it’s the perfect indulgence!
Optional: Finish off the top of the cookie with a pinch of flaky sea salt for an extra burst of flavor.

What to Serve with Strawberry Chocolate Chunk Skillet Cookie

A little whipped cream or a sprinkle of flaky sea salt also pairs wonderfully with the rich sweetness of the cookie.
How to Store Leftovers
If you have any leftovers (which is unlikely because this cookie is so delicious!), store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
For longer storage, you can refrigerate the cookie for up to 1 week. If you’d like to keep it fresh for even longer, you can wrap it in plastic wrap and store it in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Simply warm it in the microwave for a few seconds when you’re ready to enjoy it again!
Can You Make This Recipe Ahead of Time?
Yes! You can prepare the dough ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. When you’re ready to bake, simply press the dough into the prepared skillet and bake as directed.
