Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Skillet:
Grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet with butter or non-stick cooking spray. You can also use a standard 9-inch cake pan if you don't have a skillet.
3. Cream the Butter and Sugar:
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
4. Add Eggs and Vanilla:
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract until well combined.
5. Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and cocoa powder until thoroughly combined.
6. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cookie cake tough.
7. Transfer to Skillet:
Spread the dough evenly into the prepared cast iron skillet with a spatula or your hands.
8. Bake the Cookie Cake:
Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. The edges should be set, and the center should be slightly gooey. Be careful not to overbake.
9. Cool and Serve:
Allow the cookie cake to cool in the skillet for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
10. Optional Additions:
- You can mix in 1 cup of dark chocolate chips or chunks into the dough before baking for an extra chocolatey treat.
- Top with a sprinkle of sea salt before serving for a gourmet touch.

Tips:

- Make sure your butter is at room temperature before you start mixing. This will help it incorporate better with the sugar and eggs.

- Do not overmix the batter once you add the flour. Overmixing can result in a tough cookie cake.

- Ensure your skillet is well-greased to prevent the cookie cake from sticking. You can use butter or a non-stick cooking spray.

- For an added touch, consider mixing in some chocolate chips or chunks before baking.

- Allow the cookie cake to cool for a few minutes before slicing to help it set, but serve it warm for that perfect, gooey texture.

There you have it – a delicious Dark Chocolate Skillet Cookie Cake that's easy to make and delightful to eat. The combination of butter, sugar, cocoa powder, and a hint of vanilla creates a heavenly dessert that's impossible to resist. Don't forget to serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream to make it even more indulgent. Enjoy your cookie cake warm with your loved ones, and watch it disappear in no time!
