Method:

  1. Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees.
  2. In stand mixer bowl, add softened butter, condense milk, sugar and vanilla essence. Beat until light and fluffy, the mix would have turned from yellow to a pale white. (it is crucial that you get your butter/sugar mix to this stage to achieve the perfect cookie.)
  3. Scrap down the sides and beater blade, add flour, baking powder, salt, chopped snickers and 3/4 block rough chunky chopped dark chocolate. Beat until just combine.
  4. Grease a large heavy based skillet with butter, (must have a wooden handle or metal to go into the oven!)
  5. Add 3 tbsp. flour and shake side to side to create a non-stick base for the cookie dough. Bang excess flour out.
  6. Tip cookie dough into skillet and press down evenly.
  7. Bake in pre-heated oven for 30-35 minutes until golden brown. (it will be soft to touch, but once cools slightly will harden to the perfect cookie.)
  8. Sprinkle over the remaining chopped chocolate, let sit in the turned off oven for 2 minutes to melt.
  9. Serve your skillet cookie warm from the oven with a side of French vanilla ice-cream or a glass of warm milk.
