Claire Saffitz Ultimate Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie | Dessert Person

[@CSaffitz]

Good Morning! Any recipes from What's For Dessert that you'd like to see on KZbin?

[@shamirpatel3569]

You might like sticky toffee pudding

[@kalinkonrad1853]

I would like to see the rice pudding or the farro pudding. I love when you make videos of recipes I wasn’t really consider making but when you go through the steps it makes it so easy to make. Thank you for being an amazing baking teacher.

[@kalinkonrad1853]

Oh also the honey tahini toffee matzo, sounds to die for!

[@Catl0v3r23]

The honey tahini toffee matzo please! My husband got me your book for Christmas and I would love to make this recipe for my gluten free friends. Your videos help so much!

To be fair, Claire had to take time to explain things for the video which the average baker wouldn't be doing so I think she made the under 45 minute mark 😃

[@vaughnjames397]

I was coming here to say EXACTLY this.

[@keops02]

Agreed

[@lynnettejohns4733]

I was going to say exactly the same!

[@aimeeparrott9204]

Yes! I had the same thought.

[@raemongill19]

What about the time an average baker at home would need to read/follow along with the recipe + measure and prep ingredients 🤷‍♂️

[@raf42]

To be fair Claire, if I were making this I would not be stopping to explain the process, so it would reasonably take less than 45 minutes in a "real world" setting. Excellent video as always. Great editing, I also really appreciate that the recipe is shown on screen at the very start of the video.

[@GoldTurds]

In a real world setting it will take 1h 20 mins, lets be real here.

[@cheapcannedpizzasauce]

She needs that youtube money

[@amaz21]

I think 45 minutes is reasonable for the second time around. I just made this for the first time in 61 minutes. Time started when I had nothing out/prepared, time stopped when the cookie came out of the oven. Which also means that in about an hour everything was completely cleaned up as well since the couple bowls used can easily be washed during baking. (Note: I don't have the book yet, so I did have to stop and check the video for amounts/indicators several times. My largest skillet is not 12 inches, so I did transfer to a round cake pan. I had to swap out some of the seeds, so I also spent a little bit of time chopping nuts as a replacement.) While waiting for the butter to cool, I also wondered if you could substitute a flax egg and not have to wait... Maybe next time.

[@NikaRunsAndBakes]

You can substitute for a chickpea flour egg! I have a skillet cookie that uses it, though you add it to the warm butter with the intention of cooking it slightly. It is 3 Tbsp chickpea flour with 3 Tbsp water, mixed and allowed to rest until ready to use. I use it with non-dairy butter and chocolate to make a vegan skillet cookie. Hope this helps!

[@riley25321]

Claire is slaying once again

[@emilysarah2839]

another day, another baking slay

[@genericb7844]

YASSS QWEEN!

[@lechatbotte.]

Yay a cookie without nuts that I can actually eat. Claire’s recipes are always the best, unique out of the box. I live for Vinny pulling her chain she always rises above the challenges he throws her way.

[@tiberivsgracchvs2393]

Is it the same Vinny as from Its Alive?

[@Shadowarceus34903]

“Look there’s gunna be scratches no matter what - you gotta live your life y’know” absolute truth. Wear and patina is what makes the places we use. Imagine workshopping a books worth of recipes on a job and not leaving a mark, I’d feel a lil deflated.

[@henryhernandezc]

“You gotta live your life” - best attitude ever

[@jiojiart]

Claire saying you gotta live your life is sending me across the moon lol this can’t be the same person that used to get graded on gourmet makes ❤

[@naurcho]

idk bro I remember sacrificing a lot of sil-pats for her art, I think this rebellion is how she got her silver streak

[@jiojiart]

@@naurcho oh yea I completely forgot about that. lol the silver streak part of a rebellion shes the rogue of the kitchen

[@lisaanderson135]

Totally legit to be a 45 minutes or under dessert! I am going to try this and add a huge scoop of vanilla ice cream in the center! Claire is so funny and a delight to watch! Both cookbooks (Dessert Person and What’s For Dessert) are the most reached for in my kitchen!

[@AlexandraAndStuff]

11:20 I like to think that it's Felix who called Claire and left the phone aside to distract Claire and get on the counter.

[@NiGHTSaturn]

Oooooh I can’t wait to make this! Your cookies are always so good, the ginger ones were out of this world, this is next level ❤⭐️

[@sydneywaters2603]

My boyfriend got me “What’s for Dessert” for Christmas this year and the day before this video posted I was flipping through it and decided this was the next recipe I had to make. When the video posted that sealed the deal and I finally had some extra time to make it today! I did make it start to finish in 45 minutes exactly (ingredients prepped & ready). It’s my new favorite! Thanks, Claire! 🍪

[@Godsonlytrue7]

Every time Vinny talks, my heart rate elevates to abnormal levels!

[@callioscope]

Fyi, my husband bought cake pan silpats for our induction stove to prevent scratching … we often cook in cast iron pans. There were sizes that fit all of our burners.

[@memuller]

Vinny's camera shooting random stuff while enjoy his cookie and trying very hard to look for that "Brownie" flavour, and "Kitty I failed" made me laugh a lot!!! Much love from Chile 🇨🇱. Since your days at BA, I've been a fan, and it's very lovely seen you (and your new team) success and enjoying life a lot!!! Very happy for you all. Cheers :)

[@erickablackwell6020]

Definitely under 45 minutes because no one is providing instructions and explaining like you were. I'm trying this. Glad I found your channel (yesterday)!

[@carolinehenson5505]

i cackled when cal said, "that looks like snow in new york city after a few hours" in regards to the browned butter and sugar mixture lmaooooooooo

[@VigilantKnight005]

What stood out to me is the point about the sugars: mixing granulated and brown sugar for varying textures. I didn't know it worked that way.

[@lizbogonia]

Can’t wait to mix and match with different fillings cause this us so fun!

[@mounaerraji1955]

Made it today...it was amazingly crunchy and delightful, You never ever let me down...Me & my mom love you so much 💛💐💓 Thank you Claire💛 (I used buckwheat flour instead of whole wheat flour)

[@jennamercer8056]

I just got ‘what’s for dessert’ and I cannot put it down. I love it sm

[@cupidboy]

I already made this in a slightly bigger cast iron pan and it actually came out pretty close to a cookie (and it was delicious). It actually took me less than 45 minutes so I'd say it definitely counts.

[@shadowperson0456]

I am very happy because it’s Thursday! And that’s when you guys upload! I also love all of your cake recipes! Whenever they are made in the videos they look so good! Thank you so much Claire! I always look forward to seeing one of your new videos whenever it is close to a Thursday! Have a wonderful day!

[@EverythingKate]

For those of you that wanna just live your life AND are anti-scratch or have sensory issues - use parchment paper under your cast iron on glass induction cooktops. Game changer in our house!

[@lauraseaver4315]

This is totally delicious!!! I've already made it twice since I watched the video. It won't be long until I make it again. Thank you!

[@CSaffitz]

Glad you liked it!!

I received your two books for Christmas and I’m super glad you’re making this recipe in video! I love watching them before attempting on my own ❤️

[@catherineanngavile320]

Claire is absolutely right, the Dessert Person CCCs are THE best. But if you want instant gratification, this skillet cookie rocks. Made it to share, but my husband and I hoarded it all. Made a second one to take to lab, met with rave reviews. Thanks for another great recipe, Claire!

[@lenalucki105]

I absolutely love your Ribollita. I have made it a number of times for myself, my friends and family with a great sucess! Thanks to your exelent way to explain and guide. My son has now adopted the recepe and will prepare it where he lives in New York. I have spread your video to friends and acquaintances including your bagel baking. I would like to inspire you to make more Dessert Person Dinners videos, favorably on your take on Italian dishes.

[@flowerpower9401]

i'm so happy Claire is sharing all these recipes!!! I just made the honey roasted apple cake and it was so good.

[@davidwintle5470]

Top tip: when using an induction hob. Put a piece of kitchen paper under the skillet so you can shake without scratching the glass

[@brayanpreciado14]

Claire: This recipe will take 45 minutes to make. Vinny: And I took that personally!

[@oliviabaker8971]

the way Claire says choglatechipcookie is perfect

[@briannamcgowan6697]

Made this recipe this evening and shared with my neighbors!! What a yummy treat!

[@briannamcgowan6697]

There is an ongoing debate tho if it’s a cookie, a blonde, or a brownie. How do we settle this?

[@jaydenhartlillard]

Great recipe! It's clearly an hour from start to finish, but it delivers a tasty treat and totally worth the time!

[@BlinkPopShift]

I was just gifted What's for dessert and I made chocolate mousse for the first time! I love love love the recipe matrix. All recipe books need this technology..

[@margaretpriddle9541]

We love your videos! Please keep them coming, we have learned a lot about baking. One thing I don’t understand, I don’t think we have the brands of kosher salt that you recommend. Can you please explain what to look for when adding salt to your recipes? Thanks so much. Sending love from Margaret in Niagara, Canada 🇨🇦

[@jordanhorowitz3356]

If you can find it, I think Windsor Kosher Salt is the same as Morton Kosher Salt.

I love how you sometimes say chocolate like it's one syllable ❤️

[@IBODEGAI]

More content like this. This is perfect.

[@Taigen500]

The best dessert ever created

[@jeansters84]

Love it! I do agree that the “out of the oven” is when you can stop the timer; but I also think it is cheating to start with your ingredients measured-measuring & preparing ingredients is active time; cooling is passive time!

[@Cremeloaf]

This reminds me of when Carla attempted the 30 min brick chicken on BA and it too went over the time. She started questioning what time really is & that it's just relative. Claire did fine.

[@mitchellcasey813]

Im so happy the Whats for dessert book came today all the recipes look amazing Claire ❤

[@stephenmiller4948]

I crack up watching you do the first taste of your efforts… do you just naturally “MMM” ?!?! 😂 I love it!

[@MAC-op5fc]

Looks like a tasty under-60 minute skillet cookie/brownie.

[@robertlembo]

We just made your no-bake strawberry cheesecake, it was excellent as with everything else in your books that we've made, thank you Claire!

[@MortonDana]

Just made this and it's so good! I skipped the seeds because I didn't have em, and I didn't have quite enough chips so I threw in some chunks of leftover fudge. 😁It took me 50 min including ingredient prep but not cooling time, so I bet I can get it to under 45 with some practice! 😅

[@oopszie]

Oh my god this looks incredible!

[@Siren2892a]

Claire is my comfort person .. I need her book 📖

[@pataylor7164]

I know the wall clock timer is edited but I would LOVE a wall clock that could do that. Such a cool idea.

[@daniellemhall1358]

Now I'm really glad I found the screenshot button on my phone last month. First I'm going to hunt down sesame seeds and then I'm making this!!!

[@itsivana2060]

If I could be a dessert I would either be lemon ice cream or chocolate chip stuffed cookie. 🤩 I'm so making this when I pass my exam as a reward 🤣

[@afewfunmoves7592]

Could you portion these cookies to make "regular shaped" cookies on a baking sheet? Thanks for everything you do Claire! Thursdays are my favourite day of the week because of your content :)

[@MortonDana]

not sure if they would spread too much on a sheet, but I bet you could make them in muffin tins for individual portions! The crispy edge is really good so I may have to try that next time!

[@vvCruzCruz-nw7fi]

All restaurants have this dessert skillet cookie with vanilla ice cream, now I’m gonna make 1 👏

[@piercegardner3207]

The real *work* was done in 45 minutes. It's good!

[@tombullard123]

Made this it was amazing. So much easier than regular cookies too nice n fast. Bosh.

[@vidhoard]

Can this be made without seeds?

[@seechangenyc280]

I never miss a video! Made the Almond Butter Banana Bread. Loved it. The Skillet Cookie recipe - yes to easy recipes! - didn't come out as pretty as yours. I'm wondering why. Followed the recipe to a T. The flavor, wonderful. All crunch made it more like a cookie (though I would have liked it a bit more brownie - just like the video. I know, I know, it's a cookie). But the surface was parched and the color was far from your gorgeous deep brown. Mine was matte and dry and the inside was super hard (likely overbaked waiting for the color you got). I couldn't serve it. Where did I go wrong? From your biggest fan...

[@AmeliaBell28]

I think it might not be a 45-minute recipe for everyone just based on individual speed but it could DEFINITELY be a "one hour or less!" recipe for everyone and tbh that's short enough for me!

[@teganpower3658]

why don't you make the batter in a bowl after browning the butter? Then you could use the residual butter instead of re-buttering the pan. non?

[@jeffreyneal4958]

Where can I find that clock/timer??

[@abihya]

the way i SCREAMED when Felix walked across the stove-top!!!

[@SamLeaman]

Petition for there to be a real-time ep of Dessert Person! 🙏

[@filosofodemierda]

I need a video on how she got that specific skillet that well seasoned. I got the same brand and it's been a pain.

[@GrimLocke161]

That’s a hell of a skillet cookie, brownie, cake dessert… 😋

[@tesssladdy]

Are there any concerns about using a seasoned skillet for sweet/ chocolate desserts? Since chocolate absorbs other flavors so much, would I want to wash my cast iron before I use it for this?

[@rettaconnelly3913]

It always takes me twice as long to make any recipe. But I think 1 hour is a fair time. I would mix everything outside the skillet after browning the butter. This would give the pan time to cool.

[@char2341]

Im so behind, lol my dough for my chocolate chip cookies are in the fridge now! I could have done this instant one instead! Will do next week though! Thanks Claire!

[@dongjeong17]

Claire, I'm a fan (bought your book and everything). Got a question unrelated to this video. Well... more like a request. I make your savory foccacia all the time. I absolutely loves it. But I need your help discovering the sweet side of foccocia because my wife says it can't be done. I attempted a blueberry one to no avail. In your most leisure-est of leisure times, can you make a video on this? I know your busy. Anyway you're the best, bye!

I don’t bake it all but ur vids make me feel relaxed and your whole atmosphere it’s cool 😎

[@tybaltbaptiste8899]

i have to agree that it looks like a brownie. 😄

[@lizhood6132]

Will definitely do this as I love anything with seeds (and nuts) and this is soooo quick! My skillet is 10", but I have a 12" enamelled cast iron pan which would be great, I think. Now to hold off as I'm on low carb at the moment........

[@nidhirishi5896]

Hello so if we don’t have a skillet can we bake this in a flat glass bowl wondering if the baking temp would change

[@werelemur1138]

This looks so good! My sister can't eat seeds (GI issues) would just leaving them out work or worth need to make other alterations to the recipe?

Hey! I love this recipe, it's super tasty. My dough keeps turning too chewy and browney like, to the point where it crumbles when I cut into it. I wonder how to prevent that.

“Ya gotta live your life.” Amen!

[@kittehtoes]

I made the lime squiggles from what's for dessert just the other day! I absolutely flipped when i saw them in the book and had to try them right away. I made life hard for myself and didnt let my crean cheese warm up enough. I also somehow piped 41 rather than the written 15 to 20? 🙃 but they were delicious nonetheless!

[@silmoldor]

I can tell the Editor had fun with this one.

[@lets.get.intoit.]

Broke my brain that she explained well-known things like white VS brown sugar but not why there are so many seeds as if that's normal for a choc-chip recipe and whether they're necessary or can be substituted

[@laurenschenck5355]

Looks so delightful and delicious and perfect for anything and occasion 😊

[@BobCrosley]

Has anyone figured out where she got that amazing timer? I’m pretty obsessed with it right now.

[@Lmartini21]

I have a question about the sugar: is there a way to make this like "sugar free"? so any sugar alternative that could be used? This looks SO good, but I want to cut on my sugar :)

[@anthonydolio8118]

Delicious. Thank you.

[@jml4774]

Yes, it was a legit claim. Who teaches while they bake? That took up most of the extra time.
