For the Dough

  • 1 cup Brown Sugar Coconut sugar can add a unique flavor twist.

  • 1 large Egg A flax egg works for a vegan alternative.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until smooth and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well blended, about 1–2 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the creamed mixture, stirring just until combined.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips and any optional add-ins until evenly distributed.
  6. Lightly grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet and spoon the cookie dough into the skillet, pressing it down evenly.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, checking for golden brown edges and a slightly undercooked center.
  8. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes, then serve warm directly from the skillet, optionally topped with ice cream.
