1-How to Prepare the Perfect Skillet Cookie: Ready to bake up something amazing? Let’s walk through making this skillet cookie step by step it’s so straightforward, even beginners will feel like pros! Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and heating a 12-inch oven-safe skillet, preferably cast iron, over low heat for 5 minutes to get that even cook going.

2-Next, in a bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt until they’re nicely mixed. Then, add ½ cup unsalted butter to the skillet and melt it completely, stirring in 1 cup brown sugar and 1 cup granulated sugar with a wooden spoon before removing from heat work quickly here to avoid any mishaps!

3-Whisk 1 whole egg and 2 large egg yolks in a separate bowl, then immediately add them to the hot sugar-butter mixture in the skillet, mixing fast to keep the eggs from cooking. Stir in 3 teaspoons vanilla extract, followed by the dry ingredients, until just combined it’s going to be thick, but that’s what makes it chewy! Finally, fold in 10 ounces of milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips, spread the dough evenly in the skillet, and bake for 20-25 minutes until mostly set in the center.

4-Final Touches: Once it’s out of the oven, sprinkle on that flaked sea salt and let it cool slightly before serving warm, maybe with a scoop of ice cream for the ultimate treat.
