Ingredients

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 stick butter (1/4 cup) room temperature
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 whole egg room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla or burbon
  • 4 oz chocolate, chopped roughly that's two Match Chocolate bars

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and rub the cast iron skillet with butter. I like to use the paper that the butter is wrapped in, it tends to have enough left over butter on it to do the job.

  2. Mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt with a whisk to incorporate and set aside. 

  3. Cream the butter and sugars together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, add the egg and vanilla or bourbon and mix until completely combined.  

  4. Add the dry ingredients to the creamed butter mixture and mix just until combined then fold in the chocolate reserving a third of it. 

  5. Evenly spread the cookie dough in the skillet sprinkling the top with the reserved chocolate for that photo finish. 

  6. Bake the skillet cookie in a preheated 350 degree oven for approximately 18 - 20 minutes depending on the thickness of the cookie and your desired doneness. We enjoy the cookie with an amber caramelized brown edge and a still somewhat gooey center. Remember the the skillet stays very hot and will continue to cook it somewhat after taking it out of the oven, so pull it a little early.
