I have a major sweet tooth, particularly when it comes to cookies. I live for all varieties: chocolate chip, Snickerdoodle, peanut butter, chocolate-chip oatmeal, Pecan Sandies, chocolate chocolate-chip, white-chocolate macadamia nut … the list goes on. And there’s really nothing better than a chocolate-chip cookie fresh out of the oven with a cold scoop of ice cream. It is heaven. This recipe is my go-to for chocolate-chip cookies and I’ve adapted it to include peanut-butter chips, too, because what’s better than a good chocolate and peanut butter combo?
Skillet Chocolate and Peanut Butter Chip Cookies
Makes 28 large cookies (or 8 skillet cookies)
You’ll Need:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ tsp. baking soda
1 ½ tsp. salt
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
1 ¼ cups packed light brown sugar
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 ½ tsp. vanilla
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (1 cup chocolate-chip, 1 cup peanut butter)
How it’s Done:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees and put oven rack in middle position. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or butter the inside of small cast-iron pans. Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl. Beat together butter and sugars in a large bowl with an electric mixer at high speed until pale and fluffy, two to three minutes. Lightly beat one egg with a fork in a small bowl and add 1¾ tablespoons of the mixture plus the two remaining whole eggs to butter mixture, beating with mixer until creamy, about one minute. Beat in vanilla. Reduce speed to low and mix in flour in three additions, until just blended. Last but not least, stir in the chips. Scoop ¼ cup batter for each cookie, arranging mounds three inches apart. For the skillets, scoop one cup into each skillet and flatten slightly. Bake until golden, 13 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool. Best eaten day of, warm out of the oven, with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream!
