Description
To put it simply, a warm skillet cookie with flaky sea salt is a giant, thick chocolate chip cookie baked directly in a cast iron skillet or an oven-safe frying pan. Often referred to in the culinary world as a pizzookie, this dessert blurs the line between a traditional cookie and a cake. Instead of scooping individual balls of dough onto a baking sheet, the entire batch of dough is pressed into a single pan.
