Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie (8-inch)

This brown butter chocolate chip skillet cookie is baked in an 8-inch cast iron skillet for a thicker, gooier cookie with chewy golden edges and the most incredible nutty, bakery-style flavor. The brown butter adds warm toffee and caramel notes, and the smaller pan means a soft center that stays gooey way longer than a traditional skillet cookie. Top with flaky salt and vanilla ice cream for the ultimate homemade pizookie!
