Cadbury Mini Egg and Deep-Dish Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie

By nanapuddin

This giant, skillet cookie is exactly what everyone wants for dessert. A no-frill chocolate chip recipe that stays warm and soft in the center with a slight crisp around the edges is just how we like it. Serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and maybe a swirl of chocolate sauce if you're feeling fancy.

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325°F. Lightly coat a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with cooking spray. Beat brown sugar, granulated sugar, and butter with a heavy-duty electric stand mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add egg, milk, and vanilla, beating until blended.

Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Add to butter mixture gradually, beating at low speed until combined.

Add 1 cup of the chocolate chips; beat until combined.

Spread mixture evenly in prepared skillet. Top with remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips.

Bake in preheated oven until golden and set, about 50 minutes. Let stand 15 minutes; cut into wedges. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
