Yesterday was Mrs. NH’s birthday. I’m not much of a baker so I always hate baking cakes or something for her birthday. I always end up looking like some jerk out of a sitcom with flour all over my shirt and face.
Well, the same thing happened this year (thanks to Little NH2 TURNING THE MIXER UP TO 5) but the end product was much better than the crappy cakes out of a box that I usually make.
It is called “Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie” and man, is it tasty. We doubled the chocolate chips in the recipe and my blood sugar still hasn’t regulated but what a terrific way to die. (It’s a chocolate mess with double the chips. But Mrs. NH apparently likes it this way so it’s all good.) It’s also really simple. No plopping cookies on the sheet and waiting around. Just throw the dough in the pan, toss it in the oven, crack a beer and prepare to be a hero. It also pairs really well with bourbon. Natch.
I think I’ll do it again substituting chocolate chips for chili pepper infused dark chocolate and then sprinkle the top with sea salt. Cross your fingers that you get an invite to that dinner party!
