If you’re a cookie lover, you’re in for a treat with this game-changing recipe for Saucepan Chocolate Cookies from Ree Drummond, also known as The Pioneer Woman. In this novel one-pan method, there are no bowls, no mixers – just a simple saucepan to whip up the most delicious chocolate cookies.
To get started, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium saucepan, melt 1/2 cup of salted butter over medium heat until lightly bubbling. Remove from the heat and whisk in 1/3 cup of packed brown sugar and 1/3 cup of powdered sugar until combined. Add in 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract and 1 large egg, then fold in 2/3 cup of dark chocolate chips until almost completely melted. Stir in 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt until fully combined.
Using a tablespoon scoop, place mounded balls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Push in the remaining 1/3 cup of chocolate chips and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are crisp and the centers are still slightly gooey. Allow the cookies to cool slightly before indulging in their rich, chocolaty goodness.
These Saucepan Chocolate Cookies are sure to become a family favorite with their simple preparation and decadent flavor. So, grab your apron and get ready to bake up a batch of these delightful cookies that are perfect for any occasion. Enjoy!

There is no recipe above or on Food Network, have managed to get a similar recipe and watched the video to make a guess with the measurements but not worked out very well, not convinced this is worth trying without the precise recipe.
