  2. Mix melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a bowl until well combined.

  7. Remove the skillet from the oven (carefully, it's hot!) and grease it lightly with butter or cooking spray.

  8. Spread the cookie dough evenly into the skillet. Press extra chocolate chips into the top if desired.

  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set but still soft.

  10. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm, topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.

3. Tips for Success:

  • Skillet Size: Use a small skillet (about 6 inches) for this recipe to ensure the cookie cooks evenly.
  • Doneness: The cookie may seem underdone when you remove it from the oven, but it will continue to cook as it cools in the skillet.
  • Customization: Feel free to customize your skillet cookie by adding nuts, caramel bits, or other favorite mix-ins along with the chocolate chips.

4. Conclusion:

This chocolate chip skillet cookie for two is the perfect dessert for sharing a cozy evening or celebrating a special occasion. With its gooey center, crispy edges, and rich chocolatey goodness, it's sure to satisfy your sweet tooth and leave you craving more.
