Instructions

Make Cookie Dough

  1. Cream butter and sugars in a stand mixer on medium high for 4-5 minutes until light and fluffy. Add egg and mix for 1 minute, then add vanilla.
  2. In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking soda and salt. With mixer on low, slowly add flour mixture to cookie dough*. Stir in chocolate chips and scoop into dough balls. *If making at high altitude, add teaspoon of water when adding flour.

Make Mini Skillet Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175° C). Remove ice cream and place on counter to thaw slightly while cookies are baking.
  2. Lightly spray with oil or butter desired number of mini skillets or ramekins.
  3. Using a medium scoop, scoop two cookie dough balls and press lightly into bottom of prepared mini skillet or ramekin, repeat with desired number of skillet cookies and place on sheet pan. Refrigerating or freezing remaining cookie dough balls in an airtight container.
  4. Place cookie sheet on middle rack of oven. Bake anywhere from 10-15 minutes. They should be just set on the edges and getting golden brown; they might look "set" in the center, but take out before they are cooked through. 
  5. Once baked to your preference, carefully remove from oven (glass cups or ramekins tend to slide around) and place scoop of ice cream on top of the hot cookie, the melting ice cream mixed with the "half-bakedness" of the cookie is beyond words. Top with desired toppings.

HOW TO MAKE A COOKIE SKILLET or HALF BAKED SUNDAE

  1. To the hot cookie, carefully place a scoop of vanilla (or your favorite) ice cream.
  2. Drizzle your favorite sauce on the ice cream, here we used Bourbon Caramel Vanilla Sauce and Chewy Hot Fudge or Chocolate Ganache
  3. And in my ever so humble (do it) opinion, you should sprinkle on some flaky sea salt on the cookie or on top of ice cream toppings; not a lot, just enough to get teensy little bursts of sweet-saltiness. 
  4. Serve on a plate with a napkin underneath the mini skillet.

Notes

  • Use one large or two medium sized cookie dough balls. And if you must, you may substitute store bought cookie dough.
  • Variations
  • Chop up peanut butter cups and sprinkle on top of the warm cookie, in fact, even better, make up a batch of Moose Tracks Ice cream!
  • Make up a batch of M&M Chocolate Chip Cookies and use those instead for a bright and festive skillet cookie.
  • How about a peanut butter skillet cookie?
