Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie
Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie
Ingredients
- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 14 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 1/3 cup sugar
- ½ cup dark brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 cup chocolate chips or chunks + more fore topping ½ cup creamy caramel or peanut butter for topping (optional)
- pretzel pieces for topping (optional)
- ice cream for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375º Fahrenheit.
- Lightly coat an 8-10 inch cast iron skillet with nonstick spray or butter.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
- Melt 10 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until the foam subsides and the butter begins to turn a golden brown, about 2 to 2-1/2 minutes. Be careful, the butter can burn very easily! Transfer butter to a heat proof bowl; allow to cool and set aside.
- Using the same pan, stir in remaining 4 tablespoons butter until completely melted. In a seperate large bowl, combine both sugars, vanilla, brown butter and the 4 tablespoons of melted butter. Mix until well combined. Whisk in egg and egg yolk and stir. Add flour mixture, beating just until incorporated. Gently fold in chocolate chips.
- Place mixture into the prepared skillet. Place into oven and bake until edges are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Carefully remove pan from oven, add additional chocolate, caramel/peanut butter and pretzels (if using) and place back in the oven for 3-5 minutes or until extra chocolate is melted.
- Serve immediately, topped with ice cream, if desired. Enjoy!
