Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie

Servings:

• Serves 4-6 people

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
• ½ cup brown sugar (packed)
• ¼ cup white sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 egg
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• Optional: chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans)

Directions:

1. Preheat Oven:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Prepare Dry Ingredients:

   • In a bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir to mix and set aside.

3. Mix Wet Ingredients:

   • In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and white sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
   • Add vanilla extract and egg, mixing until fully incorporated.

4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

   • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
   • Stir in chocolate chips (and nuts, if using).

5. Bake the Cookie:

   • Transfer the cookie dough into a greased or parchment-lined cast iron skillet (about 8 inches).
   • Press the dough evenly into the skillet, making sure to spread it to the edges.

6. Bake:

   • Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown, and the center is just set. The top should be slightly firm to the touch.

7. Serve:

   • Let the cookie cool slightly before cutting into wedges.
   • Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce if desired.
