Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Allow about 10-15 minutes for the oven to reach the desired heat.
  2. In a medium skillet over low heat, melt the unsalted butter, stirring occasionally until fully melted and bubbly, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and egg. Mix until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to your wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips and any optional mix-ins gently to keep the dough airy and light.
  6. Pour the cookie batter into your well-greased cast iron skillet, spreading it out evenly.
  7. Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes.
  8. Allow the cookie to cool in the skillet for about 10 minutes before slicing.
  9. Slice the Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie straight from the skillet and serve warm.
