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
• 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

How to Make Skillet Cookie

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or oven-safe pan with a bit of butter.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts, if using.
7. Spread the cookie dough evenly in the prepared skillet.
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 a few minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm, straight from the skillet!

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easier creaming.
• Don’t over-mix the dough once you add the flour; this keeps the cookie chewy.
• For extra decadence, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream before serving.

Easy Variations

• Nutty Delight: Add 1/2 cup of your favorite nuts like walnuts or pecans.
• Cookie Dough Swirl: Before baking, swirl in some store-bought cookie dough for a fun twist.
• Fruit Infusion: Mix in dried fruits like cranberries or cherries for a tart contrast.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla or chocolate ice cream
• Whipped cream for a creamy topping
• Fresh berries for a refreshing contrast
• A drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce for extra indulgence
