Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 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 (walnuts or pecans)

How to Make Skillet Cookie

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts, if using.
7. Transfer the cookie dough to a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or oven-safe skillet, spreading it evenly.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set but still slightly gooey.
9. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your butter is softened but not melted for the best texture.
• Don’t overmix the dough; this will help keep the cookie tender.
• If you prefer a thicker cookie, you can use a smaller skillet or double the recipe.
• For an extra treat, sprinkle a little sea salt on top before baking.

Easy Variations

• Chocolate Chip Variation: Use a mix of dark and milk chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
• Nutty Delight: Incorporate chopped nuts like almonds or hazelnuts for a delightful crunch.
• Oreo Skillet Cookie: Fold crushed Oreos into the dough for a cookie cream twist.
• Peanut Butter Swirl: Add dollops of peanut butter to the cookie dough before baking for a creamy finish.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream to melt into the warm cookie.
• Whipped cream for an extra layer of sweetness.
• Fresh berries for a fruity counterbalance.
• Chocolate sauce or caramel drizzle for added decadence.
