Notes

Tips
  • Use room temperature butter and eggs so the dough mixes smoothly and bakes evenly.
  • Grease the skillet well with butter to help the cookie release easily and create crisp edges.
  • For the best texture, remove the cookie from the oven when the center is still slightly soft—it will continue to set as it cools.
Serving Tips: 
Storage & Make Ahead
  • Store leftovers covered in the skillet or an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze individual wedges tightly wrapped for up to 2 months; thaw at room temperature or reheat briefly in the oven.
  • Prepare the dough up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerate; let it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes before baking.
