I mean, really. I super love a pizookie or skillet cookie. But when I usually make them it is in our huge 10″ cast iron skillet, which makes for a family sized dessert.
Then there is the whole heating the oven and waiting for it to bake. This one is perfect for when you want a little less.
Here are some commonly asked questions
Can I change out the type of chocolate or add other mix-ins?
You can use chocolate chunks in place of chocolate chips in this recipe. If you prefer dark or milk chocolate chips, you can use those too. This is also great when adding a variety of chopped nuts.
Can I use a sugar substitute?
I have not personally tried it, so I can’t say how that would turn out. But if you would like to try it, I suggest a product that offers a 1:1 swap. Please let me know how it turns out.
Can this skillet cookie be frozen?
You can, but this is best when enjoyed hot because the center is a bit gooey. If you choose to freeze this skillet cookie, make sure to wrap tightly with plastic wrap and store for no more than 3 months. Reheat in the microwave without the pan.
Can this recipe be doubled?
Due to the space constraints of cooking one pan at a time in the air fryer and fitting anything larger in the air fryer, I don’t double this recipe. You could do batches back to back though.
How many can this serve?
I like to enjoy this as a couple’s dessert. However, it is perfect for those that are already full from your dinner if you want to share with more than 2 people. The kids and I split this and it can still be quite filling.
What air fryer do you use?
We actually have 3 air fryers. I have a smaller one from Phillips that we started with. I have since given that to my son since he’s only cooking for 1.
But the more I used the air fryer I realized I really wanted a digital screen. It wasn’t any more expensive, in fact- our XL air fryer from GoWISE was less expensive than the Phillips and I love its ease & extra functions.
Plus it comes with a lot of the extra accessories I like to use when cooking with my fryer.
But I when I started working on my second air fryer book, I wanted to change things up. I picked up this Chefman 6.3 Quart Digital Air Fryer+ Rotisserie, Dehydrator, Convection Oven. It has 8 Touch Screen Presets (Fry, Roast, Dehydrate & Bake, BPA-Free, Auto Shutoff) & Accessories Included. It is XL Family Size, which is great!

Oh yum! You truly can use it for anything!
Alexis says
Nasty. I think you meant baking powder because what I made from this recipe was not a cookie. 🤢
Gina Kleinworth says
This recipe has been tested multiple times since it was one of the desserts included in my cookbook. It comes out perfect every single time. It should be slightly gooey on the inside, like all skillet cookies. You didn’t mention exactly what the issue was with the recipe. So I can only assume that was your issue.
But just for reference, I checked all of the other air fryer skillet recipes that also populate with mine on the first page of a Google search & every single one of them calls for baking soda (not baking powder), just as my recipe does. Is it possible there was a mistake made in the preparation?
Shawna says
I’ve made this multiple times. Absolutely delicious every time. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Definitely a keeper.
Vanessa says
Can I use a 4inch pan to cook a a little less big of a cookie cause I have a small air fryer lol
Gina Kleinworth says
I think that would be fine – you actually might need to cook it a bit longer because it will then be thicker in the pan. Just keep checking it – making sure the inside isn’t too gooey and you can tent the top with foil if it is browning too much on the top before the insides are done.

Could you use 3 small ramekins instead of one pan?
Gina Kleinworth says
I’m sure you could – depending on how much you put in each one the baking time could be as short as 5-8 minutes or as long as 15-22 minutes. You will have to watch them for browning and test in the center for doneness before serving;. Please let me know how they turn out – I’d love to know what you did and what you think.
Nicole says
Used 3 ramekins, filled to the inner line. Ninja Foodi bake at 340 for 18 mins and then 310 for 5 mins. I wish I could post a picture!! They are AMAZING!!! 😍
