Servings 6 skillets

Equipment

  • 6 4.7-5 inch cast iron skillets

Ingredients
  

  • 6 tablespoon butter room temperature
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup bittersweet chocolate chopped from bar (about 5 ounces)
  • ½ cup semi sweet chips
  • ¼ cup toffee bits

Toppings

  • flaky sea salt
  • vanilla ice cream
  • fudge topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray 1-6 5-inch cast iron skillets (depending on how many cookies you want to bake) with nonstick spray and place on a baking sheet.
  • Add the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar to a large mixing bowl and stir until combined.
  • Add the egg and vanilla to the butter mixture and stir again until combined.
    Add the flour, baking soda, and kosher and stir until incorporated
  • Add the chocolates and toffee and stir until distributed throughout the dough.
  • Using a heaping ¼ cup measure divide the dough among the skillets...the dough may give you an extra skillet. But only using a heaping ¼ cup ensures the dough cooks in the time provided.
  • Using your fingers gently flatten out the dough until it almost reaches the edge of the skillet.
  • Bake until the edges look slightly crisp or wrinkly and the top is a deep golden brown, about 13-15 minutes. If using flaky sea salt...sprinkle a little on each cookie now.
    Cool slightly and top with ice cream!
