A quick and easy dessert combining boxed brownie mix, cookie dough, and chocolate chips baked in a cast iron skillet, served warm with vanilla ice cream for a gooey, rich treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 standard 18 oz box brownie mix (preferably Ghirardelli)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil (60 ml)
  • 1/4 cup water (60 ml)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (90 g), semi-sweet or milk chocolate
  • 1/2 cup prepared cookie dough (115 g), chilled and chopped
  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place your cast iron skillet in the oven while it heats to warm it up.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the brownie mix, 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, and 1/4 cup water. Stir gently until just combined.
  3. Roughly chop the chilled cookie dough into small chunks about 1/2 inch in size.
  4. Remove the hot skillet from the oven carefully using oven mitts. Lightly grease it with butter or non-stick spray.
  5. Spread half the brownie batter evenly into the skillet. Sprinkle half the chocolate chips and half the cookie dough chunks on top.
  6. Layer the rest of the brownie batter over the first layer, then top with the remaining chocolate chips and cookie dough.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until edges look set and slightly crisp, and the center remains soft and fudgy. A toothpick inserted near the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes.
  9. Serve warm with generous scoops of vanilla ice cream melting over the top.

Notes

Do not overmix the brownie batter to keep it light and tender. Chill cookie dough before chopping to maintain texture. Preheat the skillet to get a crisp crust. If edges brown too quickly, tent with foil after 20 minutes. Let dessert rest 10 minutes before serving to set the gooey texture.
