Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Skillet ("Pizookie")
Description
The recipe combines the nutty depth of browned butter—prepared by melting unsalted butter and cooking until golden—with a batter of flour, baking soda, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. After straining the browned butter and mixing in sugars and eggs, the flour mixture is folded in along with chocolate chips for pockets of melted chocolate.
Dividing the dough among small cast iron skillets and baking at 375°F yields cookies that have crisp, brown edges and a gooey, moist center reminiscent of a freshly baked cookie cake. This texture contrast contributes significantly to the appeal.
Serving the cookie warm with a scoop of ice cream enhances the creamy and warm combination, making it suited for dessert. The use of individual skillets not only shapes the cookie but allows it to stay warm longer.
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 14 tablespoons butter divided, unsalted
- ⅓ cup sugar
- ½ cup dark brown sugar packed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 egg large
- 1 egg large, yolk
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- Ice cream for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly coat 2 5-inch cast iron skillets with nonstick spray.
- 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 3 minutes. Remove from heat; strain through cheesecloth or fine sieve.
- Stir in remaining 4 tablespoons butter until completely melted. Whisk in sugars and vanilla until well combined. Whisk in egg and egg yolk until well combined. Add flour mixture, beating just until incorporated. Gently fold in chocolate chips.
- Divide mixture into the prepared skillets. Place into oven and bake until edges are golden brown but center is still moist, about 12-15 minutes.
- Serve immediately, topped with ice cream, if desired.
