Giant Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie

By Dolphl1970

Ingredients

• 1 stick unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup dark chocolate chips (I recommend at least 60% cacao)
• Vanilla ice cream (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2.Using a cast iron skillet, melt the stick of butter under medium heat. Add the sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract and mix until melted and well incorporated.
3.Remove from heat until the mixture is just warm and not hot (about 5 minutes). Once cooled down a bit, add the egg and whisk until everything is well blended. Then add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir slowly and carefully! Then mix in the chocolate chips.
4.Bake it in the oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the edges and top are starting to turn golden brown. I would start checking on the cookie after about 15 minutes of baking but for my cookie it took closer to 25 minutes to bake all the way through.
5.Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
