OUR FAVORITE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 375°F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl. Lightly beat eggs and vanilla in a small bowl.
• Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes. Add egg mixture and beat, occasionally scraping down sides of bowl, until mixture is pale and fluffy, 3-4 minutes. Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually add dry ingredients, beating until just incorporated. Fold in chocolate with a spatula.
• Spoon about 12 heaping tablespoonfuls of dough onto each prepared sheet, spacing 1" apart. Chill dough 15 minutes on baking sheets before transferring to oven to prevent dough from spreading too much as it bakes.
• Bake cookies, rotating sheets halfway through, until just golden brown around the edges, 10-12 minutes (cookies will firm up as they cool). Let cookies cool on baking sheets 3 minutes, then transfer to wire racks and let cool completely. Let baking sheet cool completely before lining with fresh parchment and spooning on dough for the third batch of cookies.
• Do Ahead
• Dough can be made 3 months ahead. Wrap tightly and freeze. Cookies can be made 1 day ahead. Store in an airtight container at room temperature, or freeze up to 3 months.

WHITE CHOCOLATE SKILLET COOKIE WITH BANANAS AND PRETZELS

Steps:

• For the cookie: Position an oven rack in the lowest position in the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Thoroughly grease a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with butter (or use a stainless-steel skillet coated with nonstick vegetable oil spray).
• Mix the brown sugar, granulated sugar, butter and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until no large lumps remain, about 1 minute.
• Stir together the egg and vanilla in a large bowl. Fold in the banana and white chocolate. Combine the flour and baking soda in a separate large bowl until thoroughly combined. Add the egg mixture and butter mixture to the flour mixture and thoroughly combine. Fold in the pretzels until evenly distributed.
• Scrape the batter into the prepared skillet and pat into an even layer with damp hands so the batter extends to the edges of the skillet.
• Bake until the outer edges are browned and slightly puffed, 20 to 25 minutes (15 to 18 minutes for stainless steel). Let cool.
• For the whipped cream: Beat the heavy cream and peanut butter in a large cold mixing bowl with an electric mixer until it starts to thicken, about 1 minute. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar, then continue beating until stiff peaks form (when you pull the beater up, peaks will form and not fall over), 3 to 4 minutes.
• Slice and serve the cookie with the whipped cream.
