Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

Use an oven-safe skillet, preferably a well-seasoned cast iron skillet.

Brown 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter until fully melted and bubbling, then cook for 2-3 more minutes until it starts to brown and has a nutty smell.

Pour the browned butter into a mixing bowl and set aside to cool.

In a separate bowl, add 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt; mix well to ensure no clumps remain.

In the bowl with the cooled butter, add 1/4 cup of white sugar, 1/3 cup of brown sugar, and 1 egg; mix well, breaking up any lumps in the brown sugar.

Incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just enough to combine without overmixing.

Add about 1/3 cup of chocolate chips to the dough and mix gently.

Transfer the cookie dough into the cast iron skillet, ensuring to get every bit out of the mixing bowl.

Bake the cookie for 22 minutes.

After baking, add a few more chocolate chips on top for decoration while the cookie is still hot, allowing them to melt into the surface.

Let the cookie sit for about 10 minutes if cutting like a cake, or wait for it to fully cool if you want to lift the whole cookie out.
