To make this delicious skillet chocolate chip cookie, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts (like walnuts or pecans)

How to Make Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie

Follow these steps to create your own skillet chocolate chip cookie:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
3. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy.
4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips (and nuts, if using) until evenly distributed.
7. Transfer the cookie dough to a greased 10-inch cast-iron skillet or oven-safe skillet. Spread it out evenly.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.
9. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips for the Best Results

To ensure your skillet cookie turns out perfectly, keep these tips in mind:

• Make sure your butter is melted but not too hot; it should be warm to the touch.
• For an even more indulgent treat, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream right before serving.
• Customize the cookie with your favorite mix-ins, such as dried fruit or different types of chocolate.
• Don’t overbake; it’s better to underbake slightly for a gooey center.

Easy Variations

Feel free to experiment with different flavors! Here are some easy variations to try:

• Peanut Butter: Swirl in 1/4 cup of creamy peanut butter for a rich flavor.
• Oreo: Crush up Oreo cookies and fold them in for a fun twist.
• Mint Chocolate: Add 1/2 teaspoon of peppermint extract and use mint chocolate chips.

What to Serve With It

This skillet chocolate chip cookie is delicious on its own, but you can elevate the experience with:

• Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for added creaminess.
• Fresh berries for a pop of color and freshness.
• Chocolate sauce drizzled on top for extra indulgence.

Storage and Reheating

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply pop a slice in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds for that fresh-out-of-the-oven taste.
