A warm, nutty, and gooey skillet cookie featuring brown butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips, perfect for a quick and comforting homemade dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (85 g), browned
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar (150 g)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50 g)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sifted all-purpose flour (125 g)
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (130 g)

Instructions

  1. Brown the butter: Place 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter in your skillet over medium heat. Stir frequently as the butter melts and foams. After about 4–6 minutes, it will turn golden brown and smell nutty. Remove from heat and let it cool for 5 minutes.
  2. Mix sugars and butter: In a mixing bowl, combine 3/4 cup packed brown sugar and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Pour in the cooled brown butter and stir until smooth and well combined.
  3. Add egg and vanilla: Crack in one large egg and add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated; the dough will look glossy and sticky.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup sifted all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. Mix dry into wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips: Stir in 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
  7. Press dough into skillet: Spread the dough evenly in your greased 8-inch skillet. Smooth the top with the back of a spoon or spatula.
  8. Bake: Place the skillet in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 18–22 minutes until edges are golden and center is slightly soft but set.
  9. Cool slightly: Let the skillet cookie sit for at least 10 minutes before serving.
  10. Serve: Slice into wedges and enjoy warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or caramel drizzle.

Notes

Watch the butter closely when browning to avoid burning. Let the brown butter cool before mixing with eggs to prevent scrambling. Avoid overmixing the dough to keep cookies tender. If no oven-safe skillet is available, use an 8×8-inch greased baking dish.
