If you know me, you know that I have a BIG sweet tooth and chocolate chip cookies are my favorite sweet treat! When my husband and I got married last year, our friends gifted us a cookbook that they wrote themselves, called The New Newlywed Cookbook. As I was flipping through, this recipe caught my eye and it was the first one I made. I used two mini skillets so that I could have my own warm, gooey cookie skillet all to myself! It is a fun way to change up your traditional chocolate chip cookie dessert and is so delicious with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!

Ingredients
1/2 cup (plus 1 tablespoon) all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1/2 cup chocolate chips of your choice
You will need a cast iron skillet (or two mini skillets!) to make this recipe
Recipe Steps
- Preheat the often to 350 degrees.
- In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, stir together the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla until creamy. Add the egg and mix until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Using a spatula, mix all the ingredients together, scraping down the sides of the bowl.
- Stir the chocolate chips into the dough.
- Grease a small cast iron skillet (or two mini skillets). Add the cookie dough to the greased skillet, spreading it in an even layer.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until the cookie begins to turn brown on top.
- (Optional) Top with a scoop of your favorite ice cream and enjoy!
