Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie in a Cast Iron Skillet

7 Tblsp unsalted butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp kosher salt
7 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped into 1/4" chunks

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Lightly coat a 5" cast iron skillet with nonstick spray.
   
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
   
3. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk constantly and continue to cook until the foam subsides and the butter turns a golden brown {about 3 minutes}. Remove from heat and strain through a cheesecloth or fine sieve. Transfer the butter to the fridge to let cool for 10 minutes.
   
4. Whisk in the sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla into the butter until well combined. Whisk in the egg and egg yolk until well combined. Add teh flour mixture, beating until just incorporated. Gently fold in the chocolate chunks.
   
5. Pour mixture into the prepared skillet and bake until the edges are golden brown, but the center is still moist {about 12-15 minutes}. Top with ice cream if desired and serve.
