Everything tastes better in a skillet!
Ingredients:
- 2 sticks + 1 tbsp butter, softened & separated
- 1 cup (200 g) sugar
- 1 Tbsp sour cream
- 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 2 1/2 cups (300 g) flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- Desired amount of chocolate chips
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F & place 3 Tbsp butter in a large cast iron skillet. Place skillet in the oven while it preheats.
- Meanwhile, brown the butter: In a saucepan on medium heat, melt 6 tbsp butter. Once melted, continuously stir the butter on the heat (scraping the bottom of the pan) as it foams & turns golden brown (3-4 mins). Continue stirring as the milk solids at the bottom of the pan start to brown after about 5 mins (they look like little specs) & the liquid turns amber color. When this happens, immediately remove from heat & let cool to room temp.
- In a large bowl, cream together the remaining 8 Tbsp of softened butter with the sugar for 3 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed.
- Then, mix in cooled brown butter, sour cream, vanilla extract, & egg until incorporated.
- Then, mix in flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, & chocolate chips just until incorporated.
- Using oven mitts, remove skillet from the oven & press the cookie dough into the skillet in an even layer. Bake for 25-27 minutes or until crispy on the edges & golden brown, then enjoy!!
