My Kodiak Cakes skillet cookie is a shareable dessert that’s hard to resist. You’ll love this warm chocolate chip cookie with crisp, caramelized edges and a soft, gooey center, topped with creamy ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate sauce. The Kodiak Cakes mix adds a boost of protein and fiber, and I include easy tips to make it gluten free or vegan too.

Kodiak Cakes mix is a whole grain pancake mix with added protein. I usually buy the plain buttermilk version since it’s the most versatile for different recipes.
For this recipe, you’ll also need an 8-inch (20.3 cm) diameter cast iron skillet and an electric hand mixer. For the most consistent baking results, weigh the dry ingredients with a food scale instead of using measuring cups.
➕ How to Make a Kodiak Cakes Skillet Cookie
Preheat the oven to 375F (190C). Lightly coat an 8-inch (20.3 cm) cast iron skillet with cooking spray.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Kodiak Cakes mix, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, use an electric hand mixer to beat the softened butter and sugars until creamy. Add the egg and vanilla, mixing until combined. Add the dry ingredients and mix again.
Once everything is combined, stir in the chocolate chips by hand.
Transfer the cookie dough to the prepared skillet, pressing it into an even layer using the back of an oiled glass or clean hands.
Bake for 15-20 minutes on a rack positioned about one-third down from the top of the oven. Serve warm, topped with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce if desired. (We highly recommend these additions!)
If you want to be extra cautious about food safety, use a food thermometer to ensure the middle of the cookie reaches an internal temperature of 165F (74C).
Skillet Cookie Tips
This cookie is baked a bit longer than traditional chocolate chip cookies so it holds together better. At 15 minutes, the center will be a soft and hot cookie dough. At 20 minutes, you’ll get deeper caramelization, a fully set top, and a less gooey center.
How to Store a Skillet Cookie
This skillet cookie is best enjoyed warm and scoopable. It can be sliced once cooled, though it may be tricky to remove from the skillet. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, and wait to add ice cream and chocolate sauce until just before serving.
Kodiak Skillet Cookie Recipe Variations
You can vary this recipe with different mix-ins and cookie toppings. Here are some ideas:
White chocolate chips
Mini chocolate chips
Caramel sauce
Marshmallow fluff
Chopped nuts
Peanut butter sauce
Chopped peanut butter cups

Notes
💭 Expert Tips from Dietitian Summer Yule
This is a level 3 recipe (weight maintenance and active lifestyles). Inspired by the classic Nestlé Toll House recipe, this version is just as rich and satisfying, with all the buttery, chocolatey flavor you’d expect. The Kodiak Cakes mix adds a bit of protein and fiber, while keeping that familiar, indulgent feel. Kodiak Cakes Frontier Oat Mix can be used in place of the Buttermilk Power Cakes mix if you’d like a gluten free option. For a vegan version, use Plant Based Kodiak Cakes mix along with your preferred egg replacer, vegan stick butter, and dairy-free chocolate chips. Nutrition information is for one serving without ice cream or chocolate syrup.
