Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie
This recipe creates a thick, slightly gooey chocolate chip cookie baked in a cast-iron skillet. The batter combines melted butter, brown and granulated sugars, eggs, and vanilla with flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt, plus chocolate chips. It gets sprinkled with flaky sea salt on top before baking, adding a balancing touch. The skillet baking yields a cookie with crispy edges and a tender center, ideal for sharing or serving warm with ice cream.

Notes
- A 10-inch skillet or pie plate can be used instead of 12-inch; the cookie will be thicker and require longer baking.
