Skillet Chocolate Chunk Cookie

I remember years and years ago when Nick and I went out to eat with our friends Bret and Carly in Chicago.  For dessert, we ordered a skillet cookie for the table and it was the best thing ever!  This totally reminds me of that night and how much fun we had.  Enjoy it warm with a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream!


INGREDIENTS

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup white granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup Nestle Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chunks

DIRECTIONS

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 10-inch cast iron skillet with cooking spray and set aside. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

  • In a large bowl, add the butter, dark brown sugar and white granulated sugar. Cream the butter and sugar together until it's light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until thoroughly combined.

  • In two batches, add the flour mixture to the butter and sugar mixture until flecks of flour are no longer visible, being careful not to over mix the batter. Fold in the chocolate chunks.

  • Pour the dough into the prepared skillet, flatten it into an even layer of cookie dough. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20 to 22 minutes, until golden brown and the center is soft to the touch.

  • Allow the big cookie to cool completely in the skillet before cutting it into slices.
