Description

A big, warm, chocolate packed skillet cookie with flaky salt and vanilla ice cream on top!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 C (226g) Unsalted Butter, browned (188-190g of browned butter)
  • 3/4 C (175g) Dark Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 C (110g) Granulated Sugar
  • 2 Lg Eggs + 1 Egg Yolk, at room temperature
  • 2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 1/4 C (155g) All Purpose Flour
  • 1 C (125g) Bread Flour
  • 1 TBSP Cornstarch
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/4 tsp Cream of Tartar
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 C Mini Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 4 oz Dark Chocolate Bar, Chopped
  • Flaky Salt, optional
  • Vanilla Ice Cream, optional

Instructions

  • Brown the butter in a medium saucepan and allow to cool. If you end up with less than 188g of browned butter, add in some melted butter to make up the difference.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream the cooled browned butter and sugars for 3-5 minutes, or until light in color and fluffy.
  • Add in the eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla and mix for an additional 2 minutes. 
  • Add in the dry ingredients and mix until mostly combined, with a few streaks of flour remaining.
  • Fold in most of the chocolate, saving some back to sprinkle on top of the cookie.
  • Press the dough into an even layer in a 9″ cast iron skillet.
  • Bake at 350 for 23-25 minutes, or until the edges just begin to set and brown. *The middle will still be very wet and wobbly, but the cookie will finish baking outside of the oven in the hot skillet.
  • To serve, top with flaky salt and vanilla ice cream.

Notes

*Cast iron skillets hold their heat for a long time, so be sure to remove the cookie from the oven while the middle is still wet, otherwise your cookie will be over baked.
