A quick and simple giant pan cookie recipe made with just five ingredients, perfect for satisfying sweet cravings without baking a whole batch. Ideal for cozy nights or last-minute desserts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (57g), melted
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (50g), packed
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (65g)
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips (45g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and let it warm up while you prep the dough.
  2. Melt 1/4 cup (57g) of unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl and let it cool slightly.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter with 1/4 cup (50g) packed brown sugar and stir until smooth and glossy.
  4. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually mix 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour into the wet ingredients until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  6. Fold in 1/4 cup (45g) chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
  7. Spread the dough evenly in a greased or parchment-lined 8-inch skillet or pan, about 1/2 inch thick.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes until edges are golden brown and the center is slightly soft to the touch.
  9. Let the pan cookie cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing to help it set.
  10. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

If using a metal pan, line it with parchment paper for easier cleanup and removal. Check the cookie at 18 minutes to avoid overbaking; the center should be slightly jiggly. For extra gooey chocolate, add a few chocolate chips on top before baking. Dough can be refrigerated for a thicker, cakier cookie. Substitute almond flour for gluten-free option and coconut oil for dairy-free.
