Ingredients

For the skillet cookie

  • 170 g unsalted butter
  • 150 g dark brown sugar
  • 100 g white sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla essence
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 600 g plain flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 pack chocolate chip cookies

For the Moose Maple Whisky Buttercream

  • 100 g Moose Maple butter available at http://www.maplemoose.co.uk
  • 200 g icing sugar
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • 1 tbsp whisky
  • A pinch of maple smoked salt

Instructions

  1. preheat the oven to 150C.
  2. Melt about 3/4 of the butter in your cast iron skillet and simmer until golden brown in colour.  Then pour into  mixing bowl.
  3. Add the remaining butter, then add the sugars and vanilla.
  4. Whisk in the egg and egg yolk until smooth.  Let the mixture rest for three minutes and whisk again.  Repeat this process again and the mixture should be smooth and shiny.
  5. Add the flour and baking soda and mix.  Add the chocolate chips and mix.
  6. Give your skillet a quick wipe with a paper towel then add the thick cookie batter.  This is not a gooey cookie, it's going to come out crunchy so the consistency will be that of cookie dough not batter.
  7. Put in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes until just turning golden brown in colour.

For the Moose Maple Whisky Buttercream

  1. The buttercream should be prepared in advance to give it at least 2 to 3 hours in the fridge to chill.

  2. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix together to  thick creamy consistency.  Refrigerate.
  3. When ready to serve use two spoons to make glorious looking quenelles to top your slice of cookie.  Or just eat straight off the spoon - it really is that good!
