    Skillet Cookie

    An indulgent and fun dessert, best eaten warm with vanilla ice cream and a swirl of smooth peanut butter or chocolate sauce. The cookie dough can be made in advance and refrigerated, just bring it to room temperature before baking.

    Serves: 6

    INGREDIENTS

    90 grams butter, softened
    70 grams soft brown sugar
    60 grams caster sugar
    1 large egg, size 7
    1 teaspoon vanilla paste
    200 grams plain flour
    ½ teaspoon baking powder
    ¼ teaspoon baking soda
    pinch salt
    250 grams 50% dark chocolate, roughly chopped
    80 grams macadamia nuts

    In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and mix until well incorporated. Add all the dry ingredients, plus 200 grams of the chocolate and all the nuts. Mix to combine then fold through the cornflakes. Press the dough into the skillet pan and top with the remaining chocolate. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cookie is cooked through.
