Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Over low heat, add butter and sugars, and let butter melt.
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, 3/4 cup sugar, 3/4 cup brown sugar
Whisk and remove from the heat. Add the eggs when cooled slightly, then whisk until incorporated. Let batter rest, then whisk again for a minute.
2 eggs
Sprinkle baking soda and salt atop mixture and whisk. Add oatmeal and stir.
1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1 cup oatmeal
Add flour and switch from a whisk to a spatula. Carefully stir together from the edges to the center. Add chocolate chips. Use spatula to spread dough evenly, then gently push dough down and a little away from the edges of the skillet.
2 1/4 cups flour, 1 cup chocolate chips
Place skillet into oven and bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes, checking to ensure it is done.
Remove skillet from the oven and let sit for 10-15 minutes before cutting. Serve warm.

This can easily be made dairy free using coconut oil and dairy free chips. You can also turn this into an oatmeal raisin skillet cookie, chocolate raisin, or cranberry with great results.
If you have leftovers, take them out of the skillet and wrap them tightly in foil. They will still be tasty for another 1-2 days, and they are best when you warm them in the microwave for just a few seconds to get them soft and chewy all over again.
