Giant skillet cookie madness

I have a confession to make. I have, on more than one, two, three, oh who's counting, eaten a whole cookie sundae at a certain chain food restaurant totally all by myself :) I was scouring the Internet for new cookie recipes as I usually do, when I found a blog with a fantastic looking giant skillet cookie recipe. The chocolate chip cookie looked so scrumptious and ooey-gooey delicious that I had to try to make it myself. Thanks to a blog called life tastes like food, I will most def be devouring this super simple chocolatey cookie delight whenever I am cravin' a devilishly delicious sweet dessert. What also makes this recipe awesome is that you only use the skillet so it's a one dish dessert which means easy cleanup!!
Giant Skillet Cookie recipe
1 stick of butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt ( I used salted butter and omitted this step but if using unsalted butter then add the salt)
1 cup milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips
Vanilla ice cream
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a cast iron skillet melt the stick of butter. Once melted add the vanilla and the two types of sugar. Stir until melted and incorporated. Turn off heat and remove. Let cool until warm (about 5 minutes) and whisk in egg. Add baking soda, salt, and flour. Stir slowly or you will make a powdery mess all over the place (woops) and then add chocolate chips. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes or until cooked through and sides of cookie are golden brown. Serve warm with a nice scoop of ice cream on top :) Mmmmm-mmmm-good. Thank you lifetasteslikefood.com for this oh so easy and yummy cookie recipe!
