This cast iron skillet cookie is easy to make and perfect for sharing. It's made in a 10-inch cast iron skillet and filled with chocolate chips and chopped pecans.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly butter a 10-inch cast iron skillet and set aside.
In a medium bowl, cream together butter and sugars, about one minute. Add egg and vanilla extract. Beat until fluffy, about one minute.
In a separate bowl, sift or whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda to remove clumps.
Gradually stir dry ingredients into butter mixture until just combined. Add chocolate chips and pecans, stirring until just combined.
Press cookie dough evenly into prepared cast iron skillet.
Bake for about 20-24 minutes, or until cookie is lightly browned across the top. Remove from oven and allow to cool for several minutes before slicing and serving (be careful, skillet will be hot!).
Notes
Cookie can be sliced easily into 8-12 slices for sharing.
If you'd like to decorate with frosting and serve as a cookie cake, allow cookie to cool completely before adding frosting.
To make individual cookies instead: chill dough for 1 hour in the refrigerator. Roll into 1 inch balls (or use a medium cookie scoop) and bake on a parchment lined baking sheet at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 9-11 minutes. This recipe makes 18 individual cookies.
