What do you think of when you bite into a perfect, warm chocolate chip cookie, like mom used to make? I think every great childhood memory rushes in when I eat one.
The kids are always trying to get me to make a giant cookie, and I thought it would be fun to try it in my cast iron skillet. Why not add a little bit of iron-in-your-diet goodness to a giant cookie?
The cookie was easy peasy to make, and so amazing. Melt in your mouth, hand-it-all-over amazing.
- 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 2 eggs
- 2-1/4 cups flour
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to 350-degrees.
- Mix the butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla in a medium-sized bowl until well blended.
- In a separate bowl mix the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture and blend.
- Add the chocolate chips and stir with a spatula.
- Butter the cast iron skillet and add the entire cookie dough mixture. Press down with your hands until it is flattened.
- Bake for approximately 30-40 minutes, or until cake tester comes out clean. (With my oven, I cooked the cookie for almost 40 minutes).
