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 chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
• Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

How to Make Skillet Cookie Cake

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

Tips for the Best Results

• For a crispy edge, ensure your skillet is well-greased before adding the dough.
• If you prefer a softer center, take the skillet cookie out of the oven sooner.
• Let it sit for a few minutes to make slicing easier, but serve it warm for the best experience.

Easy Variations

• Nutty Delight: Mix in your favorite nuts for added crunch.
• Double Chocolate: Substitute half of the flour with cocoa powder for a chocolate lover’s dream.
• Fruit-Infused: Add dried fruits like cranberries or cherries for a tart twist.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for that classic cookie à la mode experience.
• Whipped cream for a light and fluffy topping.
• Fresh berries for a burst of freshness.
• Drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce for extra indulgence.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until warmed through. You can also microwave individual slices for about 15-20 seconds.
