How to Make Mini Skillet Cookie

Whisk the dry ingredients.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
Melt the butter.
In a saucepan over high heat, brown the butter or melt the butter in a microwave.
If browning butter in a saucepan, keep stirring until the butter is golden brown (about 2-3 minutes) with flecks of brown for a rich nutty flavor.
