Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Skillet: Lightly grease a 10-inch oven-safe skillet with butter or non-stick spray.
3. Cream Butter and Sugars:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar.
- Using an electric mixer or a wooden spoon, cream these together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
4. Add Wet Ingredients:
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed butter and sugar mixture.
- Mix until well incorporated.
5. Incorporate Peanut Butter:
- Add the peanut butter to the mixture and blend until smooth.
6. Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking soda.
- Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined to form a dough.
7. Add Chocolate Chunks:
- Fold in the dark chocolate chunks until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
8. Press Dough into Skillet:
- Press the cookie dough evenly into the prepared skillet, smoothing the top with a spatula.
9. Bake the Cookie:
- Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set but still slightly soft. Be careful not to overbake as the cookie will continue to cook a bit from the residual heat after you remove it from the oven.
10. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the skillet cookie to cool in the skillet for about 10-15 minutes.
- Slice the cookie into wedges while still warm and serve it directly from the skillet. For an extra indulgent treat, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!
