- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

How to Make Skillet Cookie with Dipping Sauces
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Stir until smooth.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips (or your chosen mix-ins).
- Grease a 10-inch oven-safe skillet with cooking spray or a little extra butter. Pour the cookie dough into the skillet and spread it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set but still slightly soft.
- While the cookie is baking, prepare your dipping sauces by placing the caramel and chocolate sauces in small bowls.
- Once baked, remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve warm with the dipping sauces on the side for everyone to enjoy!
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure your butter is melted but not too hot; let it cool slightly before adding the sugars.
- For a chewier texture, slightly underbake the cookie.
- Feel free to add nuts, dried fruit, or different types of chocolate for added flavor.
- Always monitor the cookie as it bakes, as ovens can vary.
Easy Variations
- Nutty Delight: Stir in 1/2 cup of chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for added crunch.
- S’mores Style: Mix in mini marshmallows and crushed graham crackers for a s’mores-inspired treat.
- Fruit Infusion: Add 1/2 cup of dried cranberries or chopped apples for a fruity twist.
What to Serve With It
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic combination
- Whipped cream to add a light, fluffy texture
- Fresh fruit like strawberries or bananas for a refreshing contrast
- A sprinkle of sea salt over the top to enhance the sweetness
