A giant skillet cookie with crispy edges and a gooey center, featuring nutty brown butter and a salted finish for the perfect homemade treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, browned
  • 1 cup (200g) light brown sugar
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 ½ cups (270g) chocolate chips (semi-sweet and dark mix preferred)
  • Flaky sea salt (Maldon or fleur de sel) to sprinkle on top

Instructions

  1. Brown the butter in a skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until golden and nutty, stirring frequently. Transfer to a bowl and let cool about 5 minutes.
  2. Add brown sugar and granulated sugar to the browned butter and stir until combined and slightly glossy.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly.
  7. Press the dough evenly into a 10-inch oven-safe skillet. Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top.
  8. Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 20-25 minutes until edges are crispy and browned but the center is still slightly underbaked with moist crumbs on a toothpick.
  9. Let cool on a rack for 10 minutes before serving to set but remain warm and gooey inside.

Notes

For crisper edges, broil the skillet cookie for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking, watching closely to avoid burning. Use room temperature eggs for smooth dough. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookie tender. Leftovers store well at room temperature for 3 days or can be frozen. Gluten-free and vegan adaptations are possible by substituting flour and butter accordingly.
