Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie

This skillet cookie is everything a great dessert should be. Browning the butter first adds a deep, nutty flavour that makes the cookie taste richer and more complex than a standard chocolate chip version.

Baked in a single pan and served straight from the skillet, it’s the kind of dessert that’s meant to be shared. The edges crisp slightly while the middle stays soft and gooey, especially when scooped while still warm.

Finish it with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt and a scoop of vanilla ice cream for that perfect balance of sweet, salty and creamy.
