cast iron skillet

mixing bowl

Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 12-inch cast iron skillet with butter.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set the bowl aside.
In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter with the sugar and light brown sugar.
Add eggs, one at a time, until mixed in, then add the vanilla extract and beat until combined.
Add the flour mixture into the stand mixer and mix just until the dough comes together then beat in the chocolate until combined.
Scrape the dough into the skillet, then sprinkle it with the sea salt.
Bake the cookie for 30 to 35 minutes until it’s barely cooked in the center.
Remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before serving topped with ice cream (optional).

Use quality ingredients for best results!
Do not over-bake the cookie. The cast iron holds heat, so the cookie will continue to cook once out of the oven.
Store a completely cooled skillet cookie in an airtight container for 3-4 days at room temp. Or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
Freeze for 2-3 months wrapped in plastic wrap and set in a zippered bag.
Thaw in the fridge or at room temperature to serve.
Reheat in a toaster oven or air fryer for that 'warm from the oven' taste!
