Ingredients For Cast Iron Skillet Cookie

- large egg
- pure vanilla extract
- all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

How To Make Skillet Cookie
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and spray an 8-10 inch cast iron skillet lightly with cooking spray. In a large mixing bowl, add softened butter and sugars. Stir until well combined, beating well. Stir in pumpkin, egg and vanilla beating well. Add flour, salt and baking soda. Stir until mixture comes together then add chocolate chunks until combined. Transfer to cast iron skillet, spreading evenly on top. Add a handful of more chocolate chunks if desired to the top. Bake for 30-32 minutes, until baked through. Note, size of cast iron skillet will vary baking times. Remove and let cool for 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or room temperature.
Once the butter and sugars have been creamed, add the pumpkin puree. I use Libby’s or Trader Joe’s brand in most instances.

Where’s The Best Place To Get Chocolate Chunks?
You can generally find chocolate chunks in the baking section of your grocery store, however I prefer to use the chocolate block from Trader Joe’s and chop my own chocolate. What a difference it makes! Either works fine, but if you can chop your own chocolate, the outcome is even better. White chocolate chips are good in place of the chocolate as well.
Transfer the cookie dough into a cast iron skillet that’s been sprayed with cooking spray. I like to top my dough with more chocolate chunks before baking.
Bake at 350 degrees F. for 30-32 minutes, until center is baked through. Remove and let cool for 15 minutes before spooning into skillet cookie.
How To Serve Cast Iron Skillet Dessert
Many will serve skillet cookie as is, and just spoon cookie onto small serving plates. You can also sprinkle with powdered sugar and top with vanilla ice cream. It’s really delicious served warm with ice cream or homemade whipped cream.
Enjoy!
