Soft and Gooey Skillet Cookie

So as many of you know, my husband travels quite a bit so when he does I have very quiet nights around here once Greyson is asleep (He's asleep by 7 or 7:15pm every night) So after I quietly shout, "I'm free!!" I figure out my next move for the remainder of the night- Which may be only an hour (Yes, sometimes I'll crash at 8pm) or it could be a whopping 3 hours of free time! So sometimes I sit in bed watching TV but 9 times out of 10 I plop down on the couch and catch up on all my recorded shows that Lee refuses to watch throughout the week, I'll read (Which is one of my favorite things to do and it's EXTREMELY hard to do with an infant!), work on finishing my cross stitch Christmas stocking for Lee (3/4 of the way done, will show when it's complete), watch a movie or bake something yummy and maybe have a nice glass of wine to indulge a little.

So during this trip that Lee was on, I decided to make a skillet cookie as not only did I want a gooey cookie but I wanted a GIANT ONE!! So here it is for you all to try out...

Ingredients:
1 stick softened butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
3/4 cup All Purpose Flour
3/4 cup Bread Flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
8 oz milk chocolate chunks (NOT chips) *trust me the chunks put these on a whole other level

1. Mix the butter and all the sugars together- once combined, add the egg
2. Add all the remaining ingredients and continue mixing on low until well combined
3. Refrigerate for 1 hour
4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
5. Scoop the dough into a iron skillet and put in the oven for 24 minutes

6. Voila! Just add a scoop of ice cream and you've got a giant cookie a la mode!

So delicious!!
