Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie Recipe

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which should take about 5 minutes. Don't rush this step; you're looking for a very pale, airy consistency.

Gradually add the baking soda, baking powder, salt, and flour to the wet mixture, mixing slowly until all the dry ingredients are just combined and no streaks of flour remain.

Once the flour is incorporated, fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Grease a 9-inch skillet with butter, cooking spray, or Crisco. Spoon half of the cookie batter into the prepared skillet, spreading it evenly. Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 13 minutes.

To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cookie; if it comes out clean, the cookie is ready. Repeat this process with the remaining batter to make a second skillet cookie.
