Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie Baked in a Cast Iron Pan

By Foodiewife

Ingredients

• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (9 ounces)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugars until mixture is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Add egg and vanilla; mix until they are fully incorporated.

Add flour mixture, and beat until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips.

Transfer dough to a 10-inch ovenproof skillet (I sprayed mine with just a little cooking spray), and press to flatten, covering bottom of pan.

Bake until edges are brown and top is golden, 40 to 45 minutes. Don't overbake; it will continue to cook a few minutes out of the oven.

Transfer to a wire rack to cool in pan, 15 to 20 minutes.

Cut into wedges.
