Cast Iron Skillet Cookie
Description
The Cast Iron Skillet Cookie is made by first browning unsalted butter until it develops a toasty aroma, which adds complexity to the dough. After cooling, it's mixed with sugars, egg, vanilla, milk, and dry ingredients including flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Chocolate chips and chunks are folded in for texture and richness.
Spreading the batter in a greased 10-inch cast iron skillet and baking at 350°F yields a cookie that has a golden-brown edge with a tender center. The baking time is around 15-17 minutes but can vary slightly. Cooling briefly before serving helps the cookie set but retains warmth for melting ice cream toppings.
This dessert pairs well with vanilla ice cream, enhancing a delicious contrast between warm cookie and cold cream. The browned butter process is key to the cookie’s depth of flavor.

- 8 Tbsp. butter unsalted
- 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
