One-Dish Casserole Cookie

Perfect for vacation or condo cooking as this cookie is stirred up and then baked in one dish. A minimum of equipment needed and clean up is easy. Serve the cookie warm from the oven while it’s a bit gooey. For an extra treat, add a scoop of ice cream.

One-Dish Casserole Cookie     8 or 9 servings

10 tablespoons (1 stick + 2 tablespoons) unsalted butter

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 egg

3/4 cup chocolate chips or chocolate chunks

1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Place butter in a 10-inch casserole or baking dish; place in microwave and heat about a minute or until butter is melted. Or, use a 10-inch cast iron skillet to melt butter over medium-low heat and remove pan from stove. (A 9x9-inch baking dish could also be used.)
3. Stir in sugar, brown sugar and vanilla. Set aside to cool for a couple of minutes minutes.
   
   
4. Add flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and egg; stir until smooth.
   
5. Stir in the chocolate chips and press dough into an even layer in the skillet.

7. Serve warm.
