Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake

Have you ever gone to the Martha Stewart website? Let me tell you, that Martha knows what she's talking about. I found a great recipe named "Skillet Baked Chocolate Chip Cookie", which is basically making chocolate chip cookie dough and placing it in a skillet to turn it into a cake! Martha recommends topping the cake off with homemade caramel sauce, but we used vanilla ice-cream instead! Give it a whirl!

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup sugar

3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar

1 large egg

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups mixed semi-sweet & milk chocolate chips

Recipe:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt, set aside. In a separate bowl, cream butter and sugars until mixture is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add egg and vanilla; mix until they are fully incorporated. Add flour mixture, and beat until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips.

Transfer dough to a 10-inch ovenproof skillet, and press to flatten, covering bottom of pan. Bake until edges are brown and top is golden, about 40 to 45 minutes. Don't over bake, it will continue to cook a few minutes out of the oven. Serve warm with a generous tablespoon of vanilla ice-cream on top.

Enjoy!
