Cozy Brown Butter Pecan Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie

  • Author: Lena
  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Description

A warm, comforting skillet cookie featuring nutty brown butter, crunchy toasted pecans, and melty semi-sweet chocolate chips with a crisp edge and gooey center.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (85g), browned
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar (150g)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50g)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (125g)
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans (60g), toasted
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (130g)

Instructions

  1. Brown the butter: Place 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently as the butter melts and foams. Cook until it turns a rich amber color and smells nutty, about 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a heatproof bowl and let cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
  2. Mix sugars and brown butter: Add 3/4 cup light brown sugar and 1/4 cup granulated sugar to the browned butter. Stir until combined and smooth.
  3. Add egg and vanilla: Crack in 1 large room temperature egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk vigorously until smooth and shiny.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. Fold dry into wet: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Stop once no flour streaks remain.
  6. Add pecans and chocolate chips: Fold in 1/2 cup toasted chopped pecans and 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly through the dough.
  7. Prepare skillet and bake: Lightly grease an 8-inch cast iron skillet with butter or non-stick spray. Press the dough evenly into the skillet. Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 18-22 minutes until edges are golden brown and set, and the center is soft and slightly jiggly.
  8. Cool and serve: Let the cookie cool in the skillet for 10 minutes before serving warm.

Notes

Toast pecans in a dry pan for 3-4 minutes before folding into dough to enhance nuttiness. Use room temperature egg and butter for smooth mixing. If edges brown too fast, tent with foil. Can substitute gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free version. For nut-free, omit pecans and add extra chocolate chips or toasted seeds.
