Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

How to Make Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy.
4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts if using.
7. Grease a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or oven-safe skillet with cooking spray or a little butter.
8. Spread the cookie dough evenly in the skillet, smoothing the top with a spatula.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set but still slightly soft.
10. Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your butter is melted but not hot to avoid cooking the egg prematurely.
• For a crispier edge, bake a few minutes longer, but keep an eye on the center to prevent overbaking.
• Letting the cookie cool slightly enhances the texture, making it easier to slice and serve.

Easy Variations

• Nutty Delight: Add 1/2 cup of your favorite nuts for a crunchy twist.
• Double Chocolate: Substitute half of the flour with cocoa powder for a chocolate lover’s dream.
• Stuffed Cookie: Add a layer of chocolate or caramel in the center before baking for an ooey-gooey surprise.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic dessert pairing.
• Fresh berries for a burst of fruity flavor.
• A drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce for extra indulgence.
• Whipped cream to elevate the dessert experience.
