Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookies Recipe

!). I meant to tell Kim Boyce that I've been baking a skillet version of her celebrated Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies lately.

I kept pretty close to downtown for most of this Portland stay, and there were a number of new-to-me places I visited. I've updated

one night as well - perfect salad {with pretzel croutons!) and unbelievable buckwheat spätzle with black trumpet mushrooms.

Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie

3 cups / 13.5 oz / 380 g whole-wheat flour

Preheat the oven to 350°F / 175°C degree oven, with a rack in the middle. Butter a 10 (25cm) or 11-inch (28cm) ovenproof skillet, one that is

In another large bowl, or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the butter and the sugars. Mix just until the butter and sugars are blended, about 2 minutes using the mixer on low speed. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl along the way. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until each is combined. Mix in the vanilla. Add the flour mixture to the bowl and blend on low speed until the flour is barely combined, about 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl.

Add most of the chocolate to the batter. Mix just until the chocolate is evenly incorporated. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl, then scrape the batter out into the skillet, pressing it out into an even layer. Sprinkle any remaining chocolate across the top, and casually press it into the dough a bit, just enough that it isn't riding directly on top of the dough.

Makes one large skillet cookie, which you can cut into as many cookies as you like.

Figgy Buckwheat Scones

These jammy, fig-swirled buckwheat scones are from Kim Boyce's inspiring new book, Good to the Grain, about baking with whole-grain flours.

A cake I made for the Kim Boyce potluck at 18 Reasons - Incredibly moist, golden-crumbed, flecked with rosemary, and dotted with big and small chocolate chunks, I'd make this again in a heartbeat.

It must be a chocolate chip cookie kind of day because I totally just baked a batch of your itty bitty whole wheat choc. chip cookies today! They are so cute! And so GOOD!

Why have many cookies when you can just have one giant one? This looks so delicious, I always find that whole wheat flour really makes a chocolate chip cookie!

Glad you got to try Gruner and Spella! Both of those places are gems! When I'm feeling indulgent, I'll have the folks at Spella make me an affogato with their housemade stracciatella gelato... and I'll eat it for breakfast. :)

Oh how I miss the Portland food scene and the blueberry bushes from my parents' backyard. Besides the insufferable 8 months of rain each year, it really is such a fantastic place.

I find this dough improves with age, so I make a batch and roll it into a log for the fridge, then slice/break off pieces to bake in the toaster oven "as needed". As in, "I need a chocolate chip cookie, stat!"

hi heidi - gosh, i've been a huge fan of these cookies from kim's book, and was planning to make a batch sometime soon... and i know how i want to make them/it now!

and portland... well i've wanted to go back again, and it looks like the list of places to visit keeps getting longer! thanks as always for sharing your ideas & insights.

Whole wheat chocolate chip cookies have been on my mind ever since Molly's post. And I love the idea of baking them in a skillet! Thanks for the inspiration...will be making these for a bake sale on Friday!

Just when I thought I had made all possible variations on this recipe! I agree with Eva, though: I prefer them when they age so I always keep a log in my freezer.

Wonderful idea- this sounds amazing- I would add some vanilla ice cream!

I love making whole wheat choc. chip cookies - I like the mix of deep, dark, rich chocolate and nutty whole grain flour.

Heidi, how do you get the insides of your metal mixing bowl to not shine or reflect in photos? Grease and flour? I can't figure that one out.

HS: Yes, you can remove it from the pan quite easily. And it never really occurred to me re: the shine of the mixing bowl. I don't do anything special!

Thinking about this recipe is taking me back to my grandmother's kitchen even though she never baked cookies this way. I think it must be the wholesome combination of chocolate chip cookies, whole wheat flour and a well-used cast iron skillet.

I never had skillet cookies before but I love the crunchy edge/chewy center concept. Whenever I have made cookies with all whole wheat flours they have been a bit crumbly - maybe this is the solution!

Will have to make it ASAP. Thanks!

My stepmom used to make what she called a bday cookie cake with her Grandmother's recipe. This really reminds me of that!? Except she would bake it on a sheet pan and then put it all decorated in a pizza box and then wrap it up. I always thought it was a cute idea and never knew someone who didn't appriciate getting a cookie way bigger than their head!

This kind of reminds me of a vegan/vegetarian whole wheat chocolate chip cookie I made quite often ...and found myself eating the entire batch of.haha

Oooh, but I can't to try this variation with butter and eggs.

Pizookie!! ;) I don't have a cast iron skillet, but I might have to buy one just to make this!

I love you for this! Not just because it looks fantastic enough to take a bite out of right now, but because it makes me feel like the skillet "cake" experiments I would create as a youth weren't so far-fetched after all. Thinking outside the box (or cake pan, or cookie sheet) is a fabulous.

I love these cookies! I make them w/ whole wheat pastry flour. I love being lazy, so I'll try the skillet.

I wish I had all the tools & kitchen stuff that you have! Jealous of u- U make it sound like it's always fun to cook. THanks for inspiring me too. Cheers,

I can't wait to try these skillet wheat chocolate chip cookies. I can put to good use my large cast iron skillet. These cookies look positively scrumptious. I'm sure my husband will devour them hot with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Thanks

Portland is not only where young people go to retire, it's a great place to eat and eat and eat!

I make something similar but put them in little ramekins. Delicious!

I get SO MANY compliments on these cookies when I make them!! Who knew the rest of the world felt so good abotu them too?! I will have to try the skillet version now too - and I assume I could use a baking pan instead, since I don't have a good cast iron skillet currently...

This looks phenomenal! I'll be staying at The Nines in a few weeks for a business trip. Thanks for your recommendations of places to check out, I've got a couple of clients I need to take out to dinner and I definitely want to impress them! Let me know if you have any other restaurant must sees :) Thanks for all of your wonderful recipes and inspiration!

Will chocolate chips work as well or is those big chunks that make the recipe?

Tell them Welch's people to step off a bit. Lookahere baby girl, this recipe comes to me from God. You make me wanna do right. Girl keep doing your thang because you are special. Peace

Wonderful recipe (as always!). Nothing to do with today's post, but a question...I made a test run of your basic chocolate cake for a friend's birthday. It is delicious, but one question - if I make the frosting the day before will it hold up the next day? Ok, two questions ;-) could I sub in spelt flour and if so, would you recommend any modifications to the measurement? Thanks!!!

YUM! I made your Itsy Bitsy Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip cookies last week, and loved them. Can't wait to try this recipe!

Great idea! I am absolutely obsessed with Good to the Grain and I love the whole wheat chocolate chip cookies. I will definitely be breaking out the cast-iron the next time I make them! Thanks for the inspiration.

I am not a big fan of chocolate chip cookies but my boys like them very much. This is an easy recipe and also a very healthy one. I will surely make them next time.

Oh! That's a great idea. Never thought about making a big cookie like this! Love the recipe and its use of whole-wheat flour. Thanks for sharing! looks delightful

I'd only add that butter needs to be a little melted before you mix it with sugars. Just my $.02 :-)

Made these last night - absolutely gorgeous!!! The wheat flour really tasted amazing and Te cookies is very rich but not too sweet. My three sons and I loved it!! Thank you.

These cookies are amazing. I have some family members that turn their noses up at the idea of "healthy" ingredients in dessert. But when I made a batch of these over the holidays, they disappeared in minutes! The best part? No one could tell what was different about them, but I was told these were the best chocolate chip cookies I've made yet. I've also found that the dough freezes well. I just drop spoonfuls on a cookie sheet, and freeze for 30 minutes, then transfer to a ziplock bag. You can bake them right out of the freezer or leave them to defrost before putting in the oven (I sometimes put them in the oven as it preheats to thaw slightly). They still come out crisp on the edges and wonderfully gooey in the middle.
