Ingredients

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

How to Make Skillet Cookie

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet with cooking spray or a bit of melted butter.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
5. Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
6. Spread the cookie dough evenly into the prepared skillet, smoothing the top with a spatula.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
8. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally topped with ice cream or whipped cream.

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

• Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
• Don’t overmix the dough; mix just until combined to maintain a tender texture.
• For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or espresso powder to the dry ingredients.
• Keep an eye on the baking time, as ovens can vary. Remove it from the oven when the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft.

Easy Variations

Feel free to customize this skillet cookie to suit your taste:

• Swap semi-sweet chocolate chips for white chocolate or dark chocolate.
• Add 1/2 cup of peanut butter chips for a nutty twist.
• Incorporate dried fruits like cranberries or raisins for added sweetness.
• Mix in some crushed candy bars or M&Ms for a fun surprise.

What to Serve With It

This skillet cookie is delicious on its own, but you can elevate it further with:

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for a classic combination.
• Whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate sauce for extra indulgence.
• A sprinkle of sea salt to enhance the chocolate flavor.
• Fresh berries for a refreshing contrast.

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 individual pieces in the microwave for a few seconds until warm. Alternatively, you can reheat the entire skillet in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes.
