Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie

In a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat, melt the salted butter. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter foams and turns a golden brown color with a nutty aroma.

Once the butter is browned, immediately pour it into a large mixing bowl and let it cool for a few minutes.

Add the granulated sugar and packed brown sugar to the cooled brown butter.

Using a hand mixer, beat the butter and sugars together until combined.

Add the egg, milk, and vanilla extract to the bowl.

Mix again with the hand mixer until the wet ingredients are fully incorporated.

Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the bowl.

Mix on low speed until the dry ingredients are just combined. Do not overmix.

Add the chopped chocolate bar and chocolate chips to the dough.

Using a spatula, fold the chocolate into the dough until evenly distributed.

Transfer the cookie dough back into the same cast iron skillet used to brown the butter.

Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the skillet.

Bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.

Let the skillet cookie cool slightly before serving. Top with scoops of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, and a drizzle of chocolate sauce, if desired.
