Here are some tips to make this the best chocolate chip cookie skillet to ever touch your taste buds.
Browned Butter: Melting butter on the stove until is slightly browned and nutty smelling adds an added flavor and richness to any cookie recipe, that I will simply never go back. This is one of the biggest differences between my best chocolate chip cookies and a more basic one.
Chill Time: Letting a cookie dough rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes allow the flavors in the dough to truly emulsify and come through once baking. This also leaves you with a crispier cookie on the edges along with the most gooey chocolate center.
Dark Brown Sugar: Using dark brown sugar instead of light, means a bit more molasses is added to this chocolate chip cookie skillet. This along with the browned butter depends the flavor and helps you create a cookie with less lift and cakey-ness.
Once your chocolate chip cookie skillet is done, you want to put that ice cream on as soon as it is ready to serve. Feel free to add any additional toppings of your choice such as chocolate sauce, whipped cream or caramel sauce – some of my personal favorites.
