intro

here’s the recipe for my mini cookie skillet for one 🍪🤎

ingredients

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, browned
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • pinch of salt
  • pinch of espresso powder
  • a few chocolate chips

for serving

  • 1 scoop vanilla ice cream

let's make it

  1. 01

    preheat oven to 325°F

  2. 02

    brown the butter, then add the brown sugar + granulated sugar and mix to combine

  3. 03

    add the egg yolk + vanilla and mix again

  4. 04

    add the flour, baking soda, salt + espresso powder and mix until just combined

  5. 05

    fold in a few chocolate chips, then transfer the dough to a mini oven-safe skillet

  6. 06

    bake uncovered for 11 minutes

  7. 07

    let sit for 5 minutes, then top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream

notes

  • don't skip the 5-minute rest — the cookie will continue to set after it comes out of the oven.
  • the espresso powder isn't enough to make it taste like coffee; it just makes the chocolate situation even better.
