Oh my goodness, y’all! Let me tell you about this absolutely divine Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie that has been driving my family absolutely crazy! Every time I make this bad boy, my kitchen turns into a war zone with everyone fighting over the last piece. Trust me, this isn’t your regular cookie recipe – it’s pure heaven in a skillet!
Listen up, because this is about to change your dessert game forever. First things first, let’s talk about brown butter. If you haven’t discovered this magical ingredient yet, prepare to have your mind blown! The nutty, caramel-like flavor it adds is simply _chef’s kiss_.
What You’ll Need:
• 2 sticks unsalted butter
• 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 cup brown sugar
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups chocolate chips (I mix dark and milk chocolate because I’m fancy like that!)
• Ice cream for serving (optional, but like, why wouldn’t you?)
Now, let me walk you through this heavenly process:
1. First, brown that butter! Melt it in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Watch it like a hawk, honey! When it starts smelling nutty and turns golden brown, take it off the heat immediately. Let it cool for about 10 minutes.
1. Meanwhile, whisk together your flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
(Quick intermission! If you’re loving this recipe so far, make sure to follow me on Newsbreak for more mouthwatering recipes that’ll make your family think you’ve secretly enrolled in culinary school! 😉)
1. In a large bowl, mix your cooled brown butter with both sugars until well combined. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla. Mix until smooth and glossy.
1. Gradually add your dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Fold in those chocolate chips like they’re going out of style!
1. Heat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 10-inch cast-iron skillet (or any oven-safe skillet).
1. Spread that gorgeous dough evenly in your skillet. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the edges are golden brown but the center is still slightly gooey.
Pro tip: Let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving. I know it’s torture, but trust your girl on this one! Top with vanilla ice cream while it’s still warm, and watch everyone’s eyes roll back in pure bliss.
Y’all, this isn’t just a cookie – it’s a conversation starter, a peace maker, and quite possibly the reason your neighbors will start “accidentally” dropping by more often!
