Salted Chocolate Chunk Skillet Cookie
Adapted from SophistimomMakes 1 8 inch skillet cookie½ cup unsalted butter⅓ cup granulated sugar⅔ cup light brown sugar1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract1 large egg1 ½ cups all-purpose flour½ teaspoon baking soda¼ teaspoon kosher salt¼ cup chocolate chunksSea SaltVanilla ice cream (optional)Sprinkles (optional)1. Preheat oven to 350⁰F. Melt the butter in the 8 inch skillet over medium-low heat. It will take a little while to get hot enough across the whole pan to melt the butter. Stir in the sugars and vanilla extract. Remove from heat.2. Let the pan and mix cool for about 5 minutes. Add the egg to the mixture and stir well. Use a fork if need be to make sure that the egg is well incorporated.3. Put the flour, baking soda, and salt into the pan and stir carefully, but fully. Stir in the chocolate chunks. Some of the chocolate will begin to melt slightly creating a marbled effect. Don’t worry! This is pleasant side-effect. Sprinkle some sea salt (or fleur de sal if you’re feeling fancy) on top.4. Bake for10-18 minutes or until the top is golden brown, but the center is still soft. Adjust to your doneness preference, but keep in mind that it will cook just a bit more after you take it out of the oven.5. Let cool for a couple of minutes, top with vanilla ice cream and sprinkles, and dig in!
