Assemble the Skillet Brookie

Spread the chocolate chip cookie dough over the base of the skillet, using a rubber spatula to help spread it all the way to the edges. Pour over the brownie batter. Use a rubber spatula to smooth down the top.

Smoothly spread the cookie dough until it reaches the edges of the skillet. Bake, until firm around the edges and just set in the middle.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until firm around the edges, crackled on the top and the middle has just begun to set. Remove from the oven and let cool until you're ready to serve.

Slice and serve! Add a dollop of ice cream, if you desire, or a generous drizzle of chocolate fudge sauce. The brookie is best eaten warm but will keep for up to 3 days stored in an airtight container at room temperature.

Serve with a generous scoop of ice cream for something even more delicious.
