Derby Skillet Cookie

(2)

Inspired by Derby-Pie's rich filling of chocolate chips and walnuts, this cast-iron skillet cookie version goes straight from oven to table. Topping the gooey cookie with a scoop of ice cream isn't mandatory but is strongly encouraged.

Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup butter, softened

  • 1 cup packed brown sugar

  • ½ cup granulated sugar

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 tablespoon vanilla

  • 1 10 ounce package bittersweet chocolate chips

  • ½ cup walnuts or pecans, toasted and coarsely chopped

Directions

  1. Place rack in middle of oven. Preheat oven to 350ºF. In a bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.

  2. In a large mixing bowl beat butter and sugars with mixer on medium-high 2 to 3 minutes or until pale and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating until combined after each. Beat in vanilla.

  3. Beat one-third of the flour mixture into butter mixture until just combined; repeat two more times with remaining flour. Fold in chocolate chips and walnuts. Spread evenly into an ungreased 9- to 10-inch cast iron skillet. Bake 40 to 45 minutes for a 9-inch skillet (30 minutes for 10-inch) or until evenly browned. Let cool at least 2 hours in skillet on a wire rack. Makes 10 to 12 servings.
