Equipment

  • 1 Oven Proof 12-inch Skillet

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces butter (2 sticks), room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 2 ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups chocolate chips, semi-sweet, milk, or dark

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F.
  • With an electric mixer cream the butter until soft. Add brown sugar and sugar and mix well for about 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  • Add vanilla extract and one egg. Mix well. Add second egg and gently mix until completely combined.
  • Sift in flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gently stir until just combined.
  • Gently stir in 1 ¼ cup chocolate chips and mix lightly.
  • Press the cookie dough into a 10" or 12" cast-iron (or regular) skillet in an even layer. Sprinkle remaining ¼ cup chocolate chips on top.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until light golden brown. Do not over bake as cookie will continue cooking in the hot skillet. Remove from the oven and let cool.
    If cutting into pie shaped wedges let the cookie cool for about 30-minutes before cutting.

Optional

  • Serve topped with scoops of vanilla ice cream

Notes

  • This cookie can be made in a cast-iron skillet, oven-proof heavy-bottomed skillet, round cake pan, or mini cast-iron skillets
  • Store leftovers, loosely wrapped in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, at room temperature for up to 3 days
