Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Chef's Knife
  • Wooden Spoon
  • 8-Inch Cast Iron Skillet
  • Parchment Paper optional
  • Ice Cream Scoop optional - for serving

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • cup light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated white sugar
  • 1 count egg
  • 1 count egg yolk
  • cup peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 7.5 ounces chocolate bar chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a small bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a separate medium bowl, cream together the melted butter, brown sugar, and white sugar for a few minutes until light brown.
  • Add in the egg + egg yolk, peanut butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until completely combined.
  • Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredient bowl. Fold in your chopped chocolate bar.
  • Prepare an 8-inch cast iron skillet with parchment paper or non-stick spray, then add in the cookie dough into an even layer.
  • Bake the cookie skillet for 20 minutes; it will just start to turn golden brown.
  • Let the cookie rest for 5 minutes, then remove from the skillet to stop it from cooking.
  • Top with vanilla ice cream or salted caramel drizzle and dig in. Enjoy!

Notes

Baking Tips:
Cast iron skillets conduct heat very well; so to avoid overcooking our cookie skillet, we underbake it slightly, let it cool for a few minutes in the pan, then remove it from the pan until it cools completely.
 
Freezing Instructions:
You can double up the amount of cookie dough in this recipe and then freeze half for later. Simply add the cookie dough to a freezer-safe bag, remove all of the air, and label. Freeze for up to 3 months.
The dough can be baked from frozen. Simply add a couple more minutes to your total baking time.
