1 Pan Skillet Cookie with Dark Chocolate Chunks

1 Pan Skillet Cookie

This huge, chocolatey cookie can be made in any galley and will keep the deck hands happy!  Mix up and bake a warm cookie, oozing with rivers of chocolate, all in one cast iron skillet.


Ingredients

    1 stick Butter
    ½ cups Granulated Sugar
    ½ cups Light Brown Sugar
    1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
    1 whole Egg
    1-½ cup All-purpose Flour
    ½ teaspoons Baking Soda
    ¼ teaspoons Salt
    1 cup Semi-sweet Chocolate, Cut In Chunks

Chop ChocolateFirst up, chop that chocolate bar. You can surely use chocolate chips if that’s all you have on hand, but I love the random and unequally-sized chocolate chunks strewn throughout the cookie. Also, using dark chocolate makes this healthy! Antioxidants my friends.

 

 

 

 

Melt ButterNext, heat your cast iron skillet and melt the butter. Jaime’s recipe was made for an 8-inch skillet, but I don’t have one in my possession. My skillet is very large, so I actually doubled the recipe and it worked perfectly. So yes, I made an even bigger cookie.

 

 

 

 

Add SugarsAdd your sugars.

 

 

 

 

 

 

MixMix until caramelly and smooth.

 

 

 

 

 

Looks like thisIt should look like this! Remove the skillet from the heat and let sit for a few minutes. You don’t want it to be hot, but it should still be a bit warm.

 

 

 

 

 

Stir in EggThen whisk in your egg and vanilla extract.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Whisk in egg and vanillaStir in your dry ingredients. It may take a few minutes to come together, but keep stirring.

 

 

 

 

 

BatterWe have a batter!

 

 

 

 

 

Fold in chocolateFold in all of your chocolate. Well, all of your chocolate that you didn’t eat already.

 

 

 

 

 

altThen toss that skillet in the oven and watch the cookie work its magic. It should be a little soft on the inside and a bit golden on the edges when you bring it out.

While it’s hot, top it with ice cream! I know. This just keeps getting crazier.

Then dig in. I’d love to tell you that I cut this into beautiful slices on pretty little places but um … we definitely dug in with forks. And spoons. This melty, gooey and chewy cookie is never leaving my recipe box. It’s fabulous!

Well here is the vegetable and the dessert.  All you have to figure out is what kind of meat or fish to grill alongside these two delectable and easy dishes…

Cruising Taters: Prick white baking potato or sweet potato in several places. Wrap in foil and cook over medium heat, turning often, for about 50 minutes. Top with 1 of the following: baked beans, canned mixed bean salad, antipasto, salsa, chive butter, sour cream, herbed cream cheese.

Curried Cranberry Turkey Salad

Curried Cranberry Turkey Salad

This is a refreshing, English / Indian-inspired twist on leftover turkey — a nice change of pace after a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. Dried cranberries take the place of more traditional grapes and lend a little contrasting sweetness, and cilantro and lime play out the tropical theme. Using more yogurt than mayonnaise keeps the salad light.  (Substitute lowfat Greek yogurt for regular lowfat yogurt to avoid the draining step.)

This dish is best served with a green salad dressed with oil and Balsamic vinegar.

White Wine: Dry if possible. Chateau Screw Top is O.K. to mix with the nectar
Pasta; fresh if you’ve got it, dry if you haven’t. Linguini is traditional, but any pasta will do.
Butter if desired
Olive oil, cold pressed extra virgin if possible. Your local food coop or natural food store may have it in bulk for less than the big chain gets for lower quality oil. Extra virgin olive oil has more flavour.

I use this recipe a lot aboard Distant Shores since it is attractive, flavourful and easy to prepare at a moment’s notice from mostly canned and bottled goods that can be stored on board long-term. Adjust amounts slightly to suit the size and type of serving dish you choose to serve it in. I use a 6″ x 8″ x 2″ glass casserole dish (pictured) to show off the layers of ingredients. Everything is prepared in the dish you serve it in so preparation doesn’t mean a lot of dishes to wash up afterwards. Not only does this save water, it leaves you time to relax and enjoy your time on the boat.

Pursuit S268 Sport CC

The Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console is a do-it-all kind of boat with a solid sense of style. Centre console designs have been developed for the southern blue water sport fishing enthusiasts (and this boat would raise fish with the best of them) but the Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console offers far more utility and enjoyment than just fishing.
