This irresistible, skillet-baked chocolate chip cookie gets incredibly rich flavor from the addition of browned butter—simply butter that has been heated to a deep golden brown, developing a deliciously toasty, nutty flavor.

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven, then preheat to 350°F. In a small pan (cast iron or oven-safe, if you have one), heat the butter on medium-high until melted. Once melted, cook, stirring constantly, 3 to 4 minutes, or until the foam subsides and the butter is fragrant (it should smell nutty and toasted). Turn off the heat. Reserving the pan, transfer to a large bowl and set aside to cool at least 2 minutes.
Lightly crack one egg on a flat, stable surface, aiming to hit the center. Carefully halve the broken shell, keeping the yolk inside of one half. Working over a bowl or sink, carefully transfer the yolk to the empty shell half, letting the white spill out (you will discard the egg white). Continue transferring the egg between the two halves until only the yolk remains, then transfer to the yolk a small bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, vanilla powder, 1/2 teaspoon of the baking powder (you will have extra), and a pinch of salt. To the bowl of brown butter, add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, separated egg yolk, and remaining whole egg; whisk to combine. Add the flour mixture and mix until just incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Transfer the dough to the reserved pan (if your pan is not oven-safe, transfer to a greased 8-inch square baking dish). Spread into an even layer. Bake 16 to 20 minutes, or until the dough is set and cooked through. Remove from the oven (sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if desired) and let stand at least 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
