1 cup Unsalted butter Essential for that rich, nutty flavor as it browns.
1 cup Brown sugar (packed) Brings moisture and depth to your cookie, enhancing sweetness.
0.5 cup Granulated sugar Complements the brown sugar for the perfect balance of sweetness.
1 large Large egg Binds the ingredients together, ensuring a chewy texture.
2 teaspoons Vanilla extract Adds warmth and enhances the overall flavor profile.
1.5 cups All-purpose flour The base for structure; make sure to measure accurately for best results.
0.5 teaspoon Baking soda Helps the cookie rise, giving it that delightful chewiness.
0.5 teaspoon Salt A crucial ingredient that brings out all the sweet flavors.
1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips Add rich chocolatey goodness that melts beautifully in the cookie.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir frequently until it turns golden brown and emits a nutty aroma, about 5–7 minutes.
Once browned, remove the saucepan from heat and let the brown butter cool for a few minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the packed brown sugar and granulated sugar with the brown butter. Mix until everything is well combined.
Stir in the large egg and vanilla extract until blended.
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or any oven-safe skillet with cooking spray or butter.
Pour the cookie dough into the prepared skillet and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set but still slightly soft.
Allow the skillet cookie to cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
Slice into wedges or scoop directly from the skillet for a cozy presentation.

Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.
