How to Make Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie

- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy.

- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring even distribution throughout the batter.
- Spread the cookie dough evenly in the prepared skillet.

Tips for the Best Results

- Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor.
Easy Variations
- Add 1/2 cup chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for crunch.
- Swap out semi-sweet chocolate chips for milk chocolate or dark chocolate.
- Incorporate 1/2 cup of peanut butter chips for a nutty flavor.
- Sprinkle sea salt on top before baking for a sweet and salty contrast.
