Some recipes that you see on this site are completely spur of the moment creations, others come from days of stewing it over in my head. This is one such recipe. What started out last week as a craving for thick brown butter blondies, eventually evolved into a brown butter skillet cookie packed with oatmeal and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar, topped with vanilla ice cream and a bourbon butterscotch sauce. Yeah, you read that right. A simple blondie would have been great Im sure, but I have to say that all the add-ins and toppings make this dessert outstanding.

I had such a hard time photographing this giant cookie. From the moment the aroma of cinnamon and butter baking filled my house, I wanted to devour it whole immediately. And when I finally did get to dig in, I about died. Every element comes together perfectly in this indulgent treat.

There may be a lot going on here, but its not difficult to bake. Its a simple cookie recipe and the butterscotch sauce comes together quickly. Use store-bought vanilla ice cream and youve got yourself an easy, yet impressive, dessert. Serve it warm or at room temperature, but I prefer it warm. The ice cream and sauce become a delicious puddle on the plate, the cookie gets a little soggy, and I cant help but lick the plate clean.

Print

A flavorful cookie with brown butter, oatmeal, and cinnamon, baked in a cast iron skillet. Top it with ice cream and homemade butterscotch sauce for a decadent treat.

Ingredients
For the cookie: 1/2 cup (113 grams) butter 1/4 cup (50 grams) + 1/2 tablespoon sugar 1/2 cup (100 grams) + 1 tablespoon brown sugar 1 egg 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 1/4 cup (154 grams) all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup (50 grams) old-fashioned oats 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon For the sauce: 1/4 cup (57 grams) unsalted butter 1/2 cup (100grams) brown sugar 1/2 cup (118 ml) heavy cream 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 tablespoon bourbon, optional

Instructions
1. To make the cookie, preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease an 8-inch seasoned cast iron skillet or round cake pan. 2. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Continue to cook the butter until it turns golden brown. Let it cool in the fridge until it has solidified, but still soft. 3. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 cup brown sugar for several minutes on high speed until light and creamy. Add the egg and vanilla and mix until combined.

In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and oats. Add to the wet ingredients in the stand mixer and mix until combined. 4. Spread dough evenly in the prepared pan. In a small bowl combine the cinnamon with the remaining sugar and sprinkle on top of the dough. Bake until golden brown, about 20-5 minutes. 5. To make the sauce, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Continue to cook the butter until it turns golden brown. Add the sugar and cream and whisk to combine. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and stir in the salt, vanilla, and bourbon. 6. To serve, top slices of the skillet cookie with a scoop of ice cream and a spoonful of butterscotch sauce. Serve both the skillet cookie and sauce either warm or at room temperature.
