Cookie in a pan

Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F), then grease an oven-safe pan or cast-iron skillet with a little butter.

Beat the butter with the sugar in a bowl until creamy and light.

Add the eggs and vanilla and mix well until combined.

In a separate bowl, mix the flour with baking powder and baking soda.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients while mixing until a cohesive dough forms.

Add the chocolate chips or chopped chocolate and mix until evenly distributed in the dough.

Spread the dough evenly in the pan.

Bake for 20–25 minutes or until the top is golden and the edges are crisp while the center remains slightly soft.

Let the cookie cool slightly before serving, and optionally top with a scoop of ice cream.
