- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 225g all-purpose flour
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 195g semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Brown the Butter:
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue to cook the butter, stirring frequently, until it turns a golden brown color and has a nutty aroma. Be careful not to burn it. Once browned, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Prepare Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the browned butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Mix until well combined.
- Add the egg, mixing well. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Mix Dough:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Prepare for Baking:
- Transfer the dough to your skillets, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 23 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The center may still look slightly undercooked, but it will continue to set as the cookies cool.
- Serve:
- Allow the cookies to cool slightly in the skillet before serving. Enjoy them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate treat!
