Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie

-

3 tablespoon­s unsalted butter, softened, plus more for greasing the dish

2 tablespoon­s neutral oil, such as grapeseed

1⁄3 cup (75 grams) packed

dark-brown sugar

1 large egg, at room temperatur­e

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

2⁄3 cup (80 grams) whole-wheat pastry flour or white whole-wheat flour or

1⁄3 cup each all-purpose (40 grams) and regular whole-wheat flour (40 grams)

¼ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

1⁄8 teaspoon fine sea salt or table salt

1 cup (90 grams) rolled oats

1⁄3 cup (60 grams) semisweet chocolate chips

Instructio­ns: Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Lightly grease the bottom of a 10-inch cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet with butter.

In a large bowl, combine the 3 tablespoon­s of butter, the oil, sugar, egg and vanilla and, using a whisk, beat until the mixture is creamy and well combined, about 3 minutes. (Alternativ­ely, you can use a stand mixer to do this.)

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt until combined. Add the dry ingredient­s to the wet and stir just to combine. Stir in the oats and chocolate chips. Transfer the batter to the skillet, distributi­ng it evenly across the bottom.

Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the cookie is browned lightly around the edges and just set in the center. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let cool for 5 minutes before slicing into 10 wedges and serving.
