A warm, cozy brown butter snickerdoodle skillet with crisp golden edges, a soft chewy center, and a cinnamon sugar topping, baked in one skillet for an easy, shareable dessert.

Ingredients

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup granulated sugar (for coating)

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for coating)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until it turns golden brown and smells nutty.
  3. Remove from heat and allow the brown butter to cool slightly.
  4. Whisk the granulated sugar into the brown butter until smooth.
  5. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
  6. Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt just until a dough forms.
  7. In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar for the topping.
  8. Press the dough evenly into the skillet.
  9. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the top.
  10. Bake for 20–25 minutes until edges are set and golden while the center remains soft.
  11. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

A 10-inch cast iron skillet works best for even baking.

Avoid overbaking to keep the center chewy.

Serve warm for best texture.

Delicious topped with vanilla ice cream.
