Cook techniques
Choosing the Right Skillet
Using a cast-iron skillet is ideal for achieving a crispy edge while maintaining a soft center in your cookie.
Mixing the Dough
Mix the butter and sugars until light and fluffy to ensure the cookie has the right texture and flavor.
Chilling the Dough
Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes helps to enhance the flavors and prevents the cookie from spreading too much during baking.
Evenly Spreading the Dough
Make sure to evenly spread the cookie dough in the skillet for uniform baking and consistent texture.
Baking at the Right Temperature
Bake your cookie at the correct temperature to achieve the perfect balance between gooey and crispy.
Resting the Cookie After Baking
Allow the skillet cookie to rest for a few minutes after baking, as this helps to set the texture and makes it easier to slice.
