Red Velvet Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie
Serves: 1 (9-inch) cookie
 
Ingredients
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1½ tablespoons liquid red food coloring
  • 2 teaspoons distilled white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2⅓ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup miniature semisweet chocolate morsels

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 9-inch cast-iron skillet with baking spray with flour.
