Ingredients

  

• ¼ cup unsalted butter softened
• 2 tbsp brown sugar packed

• Optional: 1/4 cup chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans

For Topping (Optional)

• Vanilla ice cream
• Chocolate syrup
• Sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Make sure your mini skillet is oven-safe.
