½ cup light brown sugar, packed
⅓ cup granulated white sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 ½ cups semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
For the Utokia Salted Caramel Sauce:
1 tablespoon heavy cream
For Serving:

🧁 Instructions
1. Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
2. Brown the Butter
Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Stir until it turns golden brown and smells nutty (about 10–15 minutes). Cool slightly, then refrigerate until just pourable.
3. Make the Cookie Dough
In a large bowl, mix the sugars, browned butter, egg, and vanilla until smooth. Add the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
4. Make the Caramel Sauce
Using a double boiler (or a heatproof bowl over simmering water), gently melt 1 Utokia Salted Caramel with 1 tablespoon heavy cream until smooth and pourable.
5. Bake
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Press dough into a buttered 10” cast iron skillet (or scoop onto a baking sheet for individual cookies). Bake for 12 minutes, until golden on the edges and soft in the middle.
6. Serve
Cool slightly, drizzle with your homemade infused caramel sauce, and top with ice cream. Enjoy immediately for max gooey magic.

🍪 Tips for the Perfect Skillet Cookie
Choose the Right Skillet
Using a cast iron skillet is ideal. It distributes heat evenly. This ensures a perfectly baked cookie. If you don’t have one, any oven-safe skillet will work.
Don’t Overmix the Dough
When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to a tough cookie. You want a soft, chewy texture.
Experiment with Mix-Ins
Feel free to add nuts, dried fruit, or even different types of chocolate. Customize the cookie to your liking. The possibilities are endless!
Storage Tips
Store any leftover cookie in an airtight container. It will stay fresh for a few days. You can also reheat it in the oven for a few minutes before serving.
🍦 Pairing Suggestions
Ice Cream Flavors
Pair your skillet cookie with your favorite ice cream. Vanilla, chocolate, or even salted caramel ice cream work beautifully. The contrast of warm cookie and cold ice cream is heavenly.
Toppings
Consider adding whipped cream, chocolate sauce, or even fresh fruit. These toppings can elevate your dessert experience.
🎉 Perfect for Any Occasion
