- 1 cup (200g) packed light or dark brown sugar – I like light brown, but either works!
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature. Seriously, room temp makes a difference!
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract – the good stuff, not imitation!
- 2 and 1/2 cups (313g) all-purpose flour – spooned & leveled, so we don’t get a dry cookie!
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch – shhh, it’s a secret ingredient for chewiness.
- 1 teaspoon baking soda – for that perfect rise.

How to Make This M and Ms Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie Recipe
Okay, people, let’s get baking! This M and Ms chocolate chip skillet cookie recipe is easier than you think. Just follow these steps, and you’ll be digging in before you know it!
Preparing the Dough for Your M and Ms Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie Recipe
First, we gotta make that amazing dough! Grab a big bowl and your mixer (handheld or stand, either works). Cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until it’s all light and fluffy. It should look kinda like whipped cream. Next, beat in those eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Don’t forget to scrape down the sides of the bowl – we want everything mixed evenly!
Baking Your M and Ms Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie Recipe
Alright, preheat your oven to 325°F (162°C). While that’s heating up, grease your oven-safe skillet *really* well. I use a little butter and then a sprinkle of flour to make sure nothing sticks. Now, spread that cookie dough evenly into the skillet. Bake for 30-35 minutes. You’re looking for it to be puffed up, golden brown on the sides, and lightly browned on top. If you want it a bit more cooked through, go for 40 minutes. Let it cool in the pan for a bit before you dig in – trust me, it’s worth the wait!
Tips for the Best M and Ms Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie Recipe
Want to make sure your M and Ms chocolate chip skillet cookie is *perfect*? Of course, you do! Here are a few of my top tips. First, **don’t overbake it!** A slightly gooey center is what we’re going for. Also, **make sure your ingredients are at room temperature** – especially the butter and eggs. It really helps everything mix together smoothly. And finally, **let it cool slightly before serving**. I know it’s hard to resist, but trust me on this one!
Ingredient Notes and Substitutions for Your M and Ms Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie Recipe
Okay, let’s talk about switching things up! This M and Ms chocolate chip skillet cookie recipe is pretty flexible. Don’t have semi-sweet chocolate chips? No problem! Use milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even white chocolate chips. And the M&Ms? Go wild! Peanut, peanut butter, pretzel – whatever your heart desires!
Want to make this gluten-free? You can totally swap the all-purpose flour for a gluten-free blend. Just make sure it’s a 1:1 replacement. Also, if you’re feeling extra fancy, try adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking. Trust me, it’s a game changer!

Description
Share a delicious M&Ms chocolate chip skillet cookie with friends and family. This recipe is easy to follow and results in a warm, gooey, and satisfying dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (16 Tbsp; 226g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (200g) packed light or dark brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 and 1/2 cups (313g) all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (180g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup (150g) M&M’S® Baking Bits
- optional: ice cream and chocolate syrup
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (162°C). Lightly grease your oven-safe skillet.
- In a large bowl using a handheld mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter for 1 minute on medium speed until completely smooth and creamy. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar and beat on medium high speed until fluffy and light in color. Beat in eggs and vanilla on high speed. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt together until combined. On low speed, slowly mix into the wet ingredients until combined. The cookie dough will be quite thick. Add the chocolate chips and M&M’S®, then mix on low for about 5-10 seconds until everything is evenly disbursed.
- Using a silicone spatula or wooden spoon, spread the cookie dough evenly into prepared skillet.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until puffed, browned on the sides, and lightly browned on top. If you want your skillet cookie a little more cooked through, bake for 40 minutes. Allow the cookie to slightly cool in the pan set on a wire rack before digging in. You can scoop/slice and serve or serve with a whole bunch of spoons so everyone can dig in together. I always serve with ice cream and chocolate syrup. Cover leftovers and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Serve warm with ice cream and chocolate syrup for an extra treat.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
