Look no further, this is the BEST mini skillet chocolate chip cookie ever! Baked in a 6-inch cast iron pan, this small batch cookie recipe is the perfect dessert for 2! This gooey cookie is loaded with mini chocolate chips and topped with vanilla bean ice cream.
Butter your 6-inch cast iron skillet and set aside.

If the butter has not been incorporated, keep whisking. Should take about 2 minutes, by hand.5 tablespoon (70g) Unsalted Butter⅓ Cup (65g) Dark Brown Sugar1 tablespoon (15g) Granulated White Sugar
