How to Make the BEST Chocolate Chunk Skillet Cookie Recipe

• Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Chocolate Chunk Skillet Cookie: All purpose flour, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, large eggs, butter, baking soda, salt, vanilla extract, chocolate chunks and chopped walnuts or pecans.
• Kitchen tools you’ll need: One 10 inch cast iron skillet or similar size round baking dish, measuring cups and spoons, large bowl, sheet pan, nut chopper or sharp knife and cutting board, medium bowl and large non stick spatula or spoon for mixing everything together.
• I bake this cookie in a cast iron pan which works like a charm for even baking and browning. You can certainly make it in any similar size oven safe skillet or baking dish.
• If you prefer, you can use the same amount of chocolate chips in place of chocolate chunks for this recipe.
• Bake this cookie until a toothpick inserted into the center shows moist crumbs. It’s perfectly fine to enjoy this while gooey and slightly under baked, we often do.
• You can use salted or unsalted butter in this recipe.
• This cookie dough is specifically designed for baking in a skillet or baking dish and not for dividing into individual cookies.
• Nuts are optional, but add such a depth of flavor, I highly recommend adding them. Walnuts or pecans work equally well, go with your preference or what you have on hand.
• If you’d like to toast the nuts spread them in a single layer on a sheet pan. Toast in a preheated 350°F oven for 6-8 minutes until lightly golden and fragrant. Cool completely before adding to the cookie dough.
• The cookie puffs up while baking but will settle as it sits. Allow at least 15 minutes before scooping and serving. You don’t have to cut this into perfect pieces to enjoy.
• Ice cream and chocolate sauce make a decadent finish. You could also serve it with whipped cream.
• Store Chocolate Chunk Skillet Cookie at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat in single servings in the microwave.
