Ahh red velvet desserts…I love thee. Let me count the ways…

From these red velvet scones, to those donuts and these cupcakes, it’s safe to say that I’m a solid fan of this treat.

And now that Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, red velvet treats are popping up everywhere!

Skillet desserts have always been a favorite of mine, too. A warm and chewy center that is just begging to be dug into with a spoon. It’s safe to say that I’ve made this peanut butter chocolate chip skillet cookie one too many times!

And even though red velvet baking is acceptable any time of the year, it’s more festive (and fun!) come Valentine’s Day. Whether you celebrate the holiday or not, you just can’t ignore those red and pink treats.

So I guess it’s no surprise that this Red Velvet Skillet Cookie is on showcase for today! Not only is it a breeze to whip up, but it’s just so pretty with that deep red color. Perfect for Valentine’s Day, or any other day, for that matter. And the best part is that you don’t have to wait for this cookie to cool before you dig in. It’s better to eat it when it’s warm!

This skillet cookie recipe is everything a warm baked cookie should be. It’s crispy on the outside, warm and gooey on the inside, and is full of chocolate flavor. The cocoa powder and chocolate chips combine to create the most decadent flavor.

How to make a Red Velvet Skillet Cookie:

Like most of my easy desserts, this cast iron skillet cookie is ready in less than an hour. Which means in no time, you can dig into this warm and oh-so delicious treat.

  • To start, you’ll want to cream together some butter and sugar until light and fluffy. It’s takes a little arm power (unless you’re using a stand mixer), but it’s all worth it.
  • Add an egg, some food coloring, vinegar and vanilla and beat well.
  • Next, whisk together the dry ingredients and slowly add to the butter mixture until just combined. Fold in some chocolate chips for an extra burst of chocolate.
  • Using lightly greased hands, spread the dough into a greased cast iron skillet and let the oven work its magic.

Variations of Red Velvet Skillet Cookie:

Add more chocolate! Sprinkle in some white chocolate chips or dark chocolate chunks for even more flavor.

Spread some cream cheese frosting on top! Make this into a cookie cake or pie and grab that frosting.

Use more toppings! Oreo cookies, M&Ms or crushed candy canes would be an excellent addition to this skillet cookie.

Some tips for making this Red Velvet Skillet Cookie:

If you don’t have a cast iron skillet for this recipe, a 9-inch cake pan will work just as well.

A hand mixer or stand mixer is almost necessary for this recipe. While you could use a whisk, your arms will get pretty tired, so have that mixer on hand!

Be sure to beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This will in small air pockets in the dough, which means that the skillet cookie will rise.

The dough may be a bit sticky when spreading into your skillet, so lightly grease your hands with cooking spray before handling the dough. This will save you from a sticky mess!

So grab those ingredients, that vanilla ice cream, and get ready to dig into this ooey-gooey, chocolatey skillet cookie!
