Just like a warm blanket on a chilly evening, there's nothing quite as comforting as a fresh, gooey cookie. But not just any cookie—the sourdough chocolate chip cookie skillet!
– all purpose flour – unsalted butter – sourdough starter – brown sugar
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures the oven is hot enough for baking when the cookie dough is ready.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients until they're well combined and set them aside.
Heat your 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the unsalted butter and let it melt completely. Continue to cook, stirring continuously, until the butter turns a golden amber color with small brown specks forming at the bottom of the pan.
Remove the skillet from the heat and immediately stir in both the brown sugar and white sugar into the brown butter until well combined.
Allow the butter and sugar mixture to cool slightly in the skillet. It’s important to ensure that this mixture is not too hot to prevent cooking the eggs in the next step.
