COPYCAT CHILI'S SKILLET COOKIE

My boyfriend's favorite dessert is Chili's famous skillet cookie, or "pizookie". I'm not a big dessert person, but I always have to order one whenever we go there. One big, warm, chocolate chip cookie topped with vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup- I barely managed to snap a pic of just the cookie before it was devoured!

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar

• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

• 1/4 cup granulated sugar

• 1/2 cup butter, softened

• 1 egg

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

2. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until it's light and fluffy. If you don't have a mixer- slowly pat down the butter with a small spatula.

3. Add egg and vanilla extract, beat well.

4. Add in dry ingredients one at a time, mixing slowly in between.

5. Pour half of the mixture into a greased cast iron skillet. If you use the whole batch- it will come out like a cake.

6. Bake for 20-35 minutes, until it starts to brown and the middle is set. The cooking time is based on the size of your skillet. The smaller the skillet, the longer the bake time. I used a 10.25 inch Lodge skillet, and baked for 25 minutes.

7. Serve with vanilla ice cream, extra chocolate chips, and a drizzle of chocolate syrup!
