Giant Skillet Cookie

The Giant Skillet Cookie is a large, chewy cookie baked directly in a skillet. It uses a combination of butter, brown and granulated sugars, egg, and vanilla to create a rich dough that is studded with chocolate chips and macadamia nuts. Baking in the skillet produces a cookie with a slightly crisp edge and a soft, tender center. This recipe is ideal for sharing and can be served warm with ice cream or cooled and sliced.
