• 1 1/4 cups margarine
• 2 cups sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 2 in a separate smaller bowl combine flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt.
• 3 add flour mixture to margarine mixture and stir until well mixed.
• 4 stir in chips and nuts.
• 5 for the cookies: reserve 3-4 generous scoops of dough for the skillet dessert. bake the remaining dough as cookies on greased cookie sheets for 8-9 minutes. they will be quite soft, but don't overcook! don't worry - they will set, but if you overcook them, they will be hard. cool on sheets for 1 minute and then remove to wire racks to finish cooling.
• 6 for the skillet dessert: place 3-4 generous scoops of dough into an 8" cast-iron skillet and smooth to cover skillet surface. bake cookie in a 350f oven about 9 minute or just until done. let cool slightly (if you can!), add a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream, drizzle with chocolate syrup, and dig in! this dessert is meant to be shared - our family of five shares one skillet. enjoy!
