In a 12-inch Cast Iron Skillet, Melt butter over medium-low heat until bubbling and slightly smoking. No more/No Less
Add sugar mixture, turn the heat down to low, and stir until smooth and glassy.
Cool the entire Skillet in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes. This will allow your butter and sugar to cool before adding your eggs.
Preheat Oven to 325° F.
Add the Eggs and Vanilla and stir to combine. You should not see any egg.
Mix in the Flour, Baking Soda, and Salt.
Add Chocolate Chips and M&M's, then smooth out the mixture throughout.
Bake for 35 minutes and either serve immediately with Vanilla Ice cream for an extra gooey cookie or let it cool and slice to serve as regular cookie slices.

The butter must be in the Cast Iron Skillet as soon as it begins heating. This allows plenty of time to cut, chop, and stir the butter to help it melt faster and more evenly.

Moving the skillet to the refrigerator, allows the butter and sugar mixture to cool before adding the eggs. You don't want scrambled eggs in your cookie. Let this chill for about 15 Minutes or until it feels at least room temperature and no hotter.

Take advantage of the cooling time to prep the remaining ingredients. Mix the Flour, Baking Soda, and Salt together in a large bowl. Measure out the Chocolate Chips and M&Ms. Whisk the egg and the vanilla extract together as well.

Melting the butter slowly and allowing it to bubble without burning is the most important part of this recipe, as this is where the nutty flavor comes from.
