Ingredients
For the Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie
- 100 g (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 85 g (½ cup) light muscovado sugar, or light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 150 g (1 cup) plain flour, (all-purpose flour)
- 3 g (½ teaspoon) fine salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 170 g (1 cup) dark chocolate chips
To serve
- vanilla ice-cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/360°F (without fan).
- Cream the butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Beat in the vanilla and egg.
- Add the flour, salt and baking soda.
- Beat until you have a thick and smooth dough.
- Stir through the chocolate chips.
- Transfer the cookie dough to a cast-iron skillet. I use one which measures 24 cm/9.5 inches at the base, but please see my Kitchen Notes below.
- Use a spatula to evenly spread the dough in the pan.
- Place the skillet on the middle shelf in the oven.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cookie is lightly golden and the surface is still a little soft to the touch.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice-cream.
Kitchen Notes
- USING A CERAMIC DISH
If you don't have a cast-iron skillet, you can also use a ceramic pie dish. I recommend one that measures 24 cm at the base. If you are using something smaller, you will need to adjust the baking time. - RECIPE CREDIT
