The Skillet Cookie



Ingredients
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1/2 cup oil

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 egg
2 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Chocolate chips/chunks, however many you want
Walnuts perhaps??

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Melt butter in an ~8 inch cast iron skillet set over medium-low heat. Stir in sugars and vanilla and remove from heat. Allow to cool for ~5 minutes.

2. Crack an egg onto the butter and sugar mixture, and use a fork to whisk it well into the mixture. Place flour, baking soda, and salt on top, and very carefully stir into the mixture until smooth and well-mixed. Stir in chocolate chunks and perhaps some walnuts.

3. Place skillet in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until starting to turn golden on the top and around the edges, but soft in the center.

NOTE that the dough won't be typical yummy, edible cookie dough. I mean it will be yummy, but it's going to be really oily. All that oil is what's going to make the cookie nice and crispy, while the butter will keep the inside slightly chewy...yummmms.


Skillet! I actually don't have a cast iron skillet, so I used the Teflon one that we usually use to make parathas (filled flat bread) in.  

Tray Joe's semi sweet chocolate is the real deal...excellent for baking!
