Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (60g) packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Cinnamon-Sugar Coating

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon

Optional Finish

  • Vanilla ice cream
  • Whipped cream
  • Caramel drizzle

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Skillet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch cast iron skillet or round baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer.
  3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract into the creamed butter and sugars, mixing well until fully combined.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add these dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined to avoid overmixing.
  5. Mix Cinnamon-Sugar Coating: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping.
  6. Press Dough in Skillet: Transfer the dough into the prepared skillet and press it evenly across the bottom. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top of the dough.
  7. Bake: Bake the cookie for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown while the center remains soft and slightly jiggly.
  8. Rest and Serve: Allow the cookie to rest in the skillet for 5 minutes to set slightly. Serve warm, directly from the skillet, topped with optional vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce if desired.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the dough to maintain a tender, chewy texture.
  • Use a cast iron skillet for even baking and a rustic presentation.
  • For a crispier edge, bake a few minutes longer but watch closely to prevent burning.
  • Leftovers can be warmed up and enjoyed the next day, but best fresh.
  • Variations: Add nuts or chocolate chips for extra texture and flavor.
