Skillet Cookie

            This giant skillet cookie might be one of my new favorite deserts. We have made it multiple times this year and it never gets old. It is easy yet so scrumptious. This cookie is crunchy on the outside and gooey on the inside, just like what a cookie should be like. It is very nutty and chocolaty and amazing. Serve with good vanilla bean ice-cream or home made whipped cream and you've got yourself perfection. I'll stop here because I already want another piece. 

Serves: well...depends if you want to share….

Ingredients: 

6 Tbsp packed dark-brown sugar 

1/2 cup sugar 

1 large egg 

1 tsp pure vanilla extract 

1 cup flour 

1/2 tsp baking soda 

1/2 tsp coarse salt 

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips 

1 cup walnuts


Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine butter and sugars with a wooden spoon. (You may use a standing mixer as well). Stir in egg and vanilla. Stir in flour, baking soda and salt. Stir in chips and then walnuts. Transfer to a 10 inch cast-iron skillet;flatten and smooth top. Bake until cookie is golden brown and just set in the center, 18 - 20 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes. If you wish to serve it on a fancy plate, let it cool a little longer, then you can flip it over. Serve with vanilla ice-cream or whipped cream.
