• 1/4 tsp baking soda (for the cookie dough)
• 1/8 tsp salt (for the cookie dough)

• Strawberries (cut in halves) (for the topping)
• White icing or melted white chocolate (for the topping)
• Vanilla ice cream (for the topping)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 6” cast iron skillet (i recommend using butter to grease it).
2. To make the cookie dough, mix melted butter (slightly cooled) with both sugars until smooth.
3. Stir in egg yolk and vanilla until smooth.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
5. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined.
6. Gently fold in chocolate chips.
7. Press the dough evenly into the skillet.
8. Bake 13-16 minutes until center is mostly set. (it should still be soft but not super jiggly or raw).
9. Allow the cookie to cool slightly then pipe the melted chocolate into the shape of a demogorgon mouth. Top with the 5 strawbery halves, then pipe the white icing around the border for the teeth. Optional: Top with vanilla ice cream in the very middle and drizzle with strawberry syrup.
