Method
 

To make the cookie dough
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Use the convection bake setting if you have it. Grease a 11-13" skillet with baking spray and set it aside.
  2. In a medium-large sized mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the butter and brown sugar.
  3. Add the milk, vanilla extract and egg. Mix until combined. Scrape down the bowl.
  4. Add the salt and baking soda, then mix again until combined.
  5. Add the flour, then mix until combined. Scrape down the bowl once complete.
  6. Fold in ¾ cup of the chocolate chips, reserving ¼ cup for topping the skillet brookie.
  7. Set the dough aside while you make the brownie batter.
To make the brownie batter
  1. Place the butter in a medium-sized microwave safe bowl and heat it until melted.
  2. Add sugar and use a hand or stand mixer to mix well (for about a minute).
  3. Add the melted chocolate, vanilla extract and salt. Mix until combined. Scrape down the bowl.
  4. Add the eggs and mix until combined.
  5. Add the flour and cocoa powder and mix until combined. Scrape the bowl down once complete.
To assemble the Skillet Brookie
  1. Use a spoon or a cookie scoop to scoop the cookie dough throughout the greased skillet. Press the dough down.
  2. Use a spoon or a cookie scoop to spoon brownie batter around the cookie dough, filling any empty spaces in the skillet.
  3. Use a spatula or butter knife to even out the brownie batter.
  4. Top the dough with the reserved chocolate chips and bake.
  5. Bake for 32-37 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with just a few wet crumbs on it (not raw dough or batter).
  6. Remove the skillet from the oven and enjoy the dessert while it's warm!
