Ingredients

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

How to Make Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
7. Transfer the cookie dough to a well-greased or parchment-lined 12-inch cast iron skillet. Spread it evenly across the surface.
8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set but still soft.
9. Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your butter is softened but not melted for the perfect texture.
• Don’t overmix once you add the flour; this keeps the cookie tender.
• For a little extra flavor, consider using dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
• If you like a deeper chocolate flavor, mix in some dark chocolate chips or chunks.

Easy Variations

• Nutty Delight: Add 1 cup of chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
• Salted Caramel: Drizzle caramel sauce over the top before serving for a decadent twist.
• Double Chocolate: Replace half of the flour with cocoa powder and use white chocolate chips for a rich flavor.

What to Serve With It

• Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a classic pairing.
• Fresh berries for a burst of freshness.
• A drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce for added indulgence.
