Most chocolate-chip cookie recipes require an oven and a well-greased baking sheet. But did you ever think to use a cast-iron skillet instead? David Rotter, executive chef of downtown N.Y.C. gastropub Boulton & Watt, has embraced the surprising piece of kitchenware to create the restaurant's now-signature soft, gooey XL-sized dessert. "It brings you back to your childhood, especially when served with a tall glass of milk," he tells InStyle. "It's also great for sharing: The aroma and presentation is contagious!" Find out for yourself with the recipe below.
