Well, it’s actually a brown butter peanut butter chocolate chip pan cookie all made in one pan but I thought that title was a little too verbose. Plus I made this with my friend Lily, which makes it all the more awesome.
Because I produce desserts on a weekly basis, I should not have a favorite. But I do, and this is it. The internet is currently undergoing a dessert frenzy. And when part of the dessert frenzy showcased The Skillet Cookie, I was game; I like desserts requiring minimal steps when ease does not compromise taste. And what could be simpler than a cookie made and baked in the same pan?
Because I was already using a heatproof dish, I decided to brown the butter because it 1. The smell is addictive 2. It tastes SO good 3. Why not?
I decided to go with a classic peanut flavor – that’s probably the only cookie that I really enjoy using brown butter for. In addition, I threw in chocolate and oats too, because oats add a nice chew – and chocolate really doesn’t need an explanation.
1. When making this particular cookie, use a pan that can be placed in the oven- WITHOUT rubber handles. I would suggest a skillet, but I don’t actually own one – I used a standard non-stick pan (which may not be the best idea but it worked fine for me).
2. Wrap the handles in tin foil to prevent it from overheating.
3. If you’re doing the one-bowl method like I did, use a spatula/wooden spoon to mix because you don’t want to scratch the pan, especially if it’s nonstick. Otherwise, preparing the mixture in a separate bowl and then spreading it into a reasonably sized dish (such as an 8 inch round cake tin) is perfectly fine too.
4. Serve it warm when the chocolate is still gooey with coffee ice cream. I’m biased.
I made this video with my friend Lily who gave me the recipe for her AMAZING banana bread [2] – because baking is a thousand times better when you have someone to do it with you. Thanks, Lily! As always, I loved baking with you.
