Brown Butter Skillet Cookie with Chocolate Chips

Step 1

1 Brown the butter Place an oven rack in the center of the oven, then preheat to 350°F. In a small pan (cast iron or oven-safe, if you have one), heat the butter on medium-high until melted. Once melted, cook, stirring constantly, 2 to 3 minutes, or until the foam subsides and the butter is fragrant (it should smell nutty and toasted). Turn off the heat. Reserving the pan, transfer to a large bowl and set aside to cool at least 2 minutes.

Step 2

2 Make the dough In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/2 teaspoon of the baking powder, and a pinch of salt. To the bowl of brown butter, add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and egg. Whisk to combine. Add the flour mixture and mix until just incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Step 3

3 Bake the cookie & serve your dish Transfer the dough to the reserved pan (if your pan is not oven-safe, transfer to a greased 8-inch square baking dish). Spread into an even layer. Bake 20 to 24 minutes, or until the dough is set and cooked through. Remove from the oven and let stand at least 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
