CHOCOLATE CHIP SKILLET COOKIE FOR TWO

Would you believe me if I told you that I’d never had a Skillet Cookie until now?

Not that I wasn’t interested or didn’t really care to give them a try, quite the contrary! I always thought that they looked quite spectacular, what with being served warm directly in the cast-iron skillet in which they were baked, all ooey gooey and chewy looking, covered in melting ice cream and drizzled with oodles of silky chocolate sauce! I mean, what’s there not to like about that picture?

Still, there’s always been this one major obstacle standing between me and this drool-worthy, mouth-watering treat: the way I see it, skillet cookies are pretty much meant to be enjoyed right away, especially if you’re gonna serve them like I just described, covered with mountains of ice cream and chocolate sauce. Leftovers must be kinda hard to keep, what with being soaked in melted ice cream and all…

Being single and alone most of the time, it made it kinda hard for me to indulge. I simply couldn’t see myself eating the whole thing and absolutely couldn’t live with the idea of sending the leftovers to the trash. I much prefer to make a whole bunch of friends with my “leftovers” once I’m done tasting a recipe!

Ingredients

1/2 cup (75g | 2.6oz) unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt (I use Himalayan salt)
---
1/4 cup (50g | 1.8oz) granulated sugar
1/4 cup (50g | 1.8oz) light brown sugar, packed
1 tsp pure vanilla extract, (store-bought or homemade)
---
1/4 cup (60g | 2.1oz) butter, melted
---
1 large egg yolk
---
1/2 cup (90g | 3.2oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided (save a few tablespoons to melt and drizzle over cooked cookie)
---
Your favorite vanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and generously butter a 6-1/4” mini cast iron skillet. If you didn’t have such a skillet, you could use a 6” cake pan instead, but you may have to adjust baking time slightly.
2. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in a bowl and mix well with a whisk until well combined; set aside.
3. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract. Add the melted butter and stir with a fork until well combined.
4. Add the egg yolk, stir well, and then carefully stir in the flour mixture. Mix until completely combined, then stir about 2/3 of the chocolate chips.
