Description
At its core, a single serve deep dish chocolate chip cookie is a scaled-down version of the classic American dessert, specifically engineered to be baked in a ramekin or a small oven-safe skillet. The term deep dish refers to the thickness of the dough. Instead of spreading out thin on a flat baking sheet, the dough is contained within the walls of a small vessel, forcing it to bake upward.
